Regular, slim or oversized: choosing a T-shirt fit
A fit name is a starting point. Garment measurements tell you more about how a shirt may sit on your body. Treat regular, slim and oversized as a direction, not a size recommendation.
Three different intentions
Slim fit generally follows the body more closely. Regular fit is straighter with more room. Oversized is deliberately roomy, often through the shoulder or sleeve as well. Brands do not all use these words in the same way. Two shirts with the same fit label can feel different.
Sizing up is not the same as oversized
A larger size usually changes several dimensions together. Alongside more width, you may get more length or a different neck opening. An oversized model has its own proportions. Compare measurements before automatically going up a size.
Start with a shirt you enjoy wearing
Lay it flat without stretching the fabric. Measure the same points used in the size guide. Focus on chest width, length and shoulder width. Note what you would like to change: extra room at the waist is a different request from a wider shoulder.
Choose by model
The Freedom Fit Tee has a regular fit. Compare the separate garment measurements for other Club 24 models rather than relying on one general size name. Try them with trousers and an outer layer you often wear. Choose the fit that lets you move comfortably and sits the way you want.
