Product Information

This is highly subjective - what one person may think is too big, another may think fits perfectly. Some garments are cut quite generously and others are cut quite trimly. If comparing measurements of one of our products to another you may own, some individuals will surely find that none or maybe only one area of measure is commonly shared or remotely close to being the same. Ultimately, chest measure is the most important area to properly fit, then all other areas of measure will have to fall into place. And some individuals who are extremely tall may find that body and/or sleeve length are more important to accommodate than even chest measure. It is best to compare your actual body measures to the listed measures of this product AND follow our advice listed under the SIZING TIPS tab specific to this product to obtain a good fit in this style.

About this Style: Our Whitesville tee shirts are the original fit and design commonly encountered in the late 1950's - 1970's, being short in body and sleeve length and not loose and sloppy. These are NOT a tapered fit, so the chest width and width of bottom hem are nearly the same, thus even if you elect a chest fit that is "painted on," there will still be some excess fabric in the waist area unless your waist measure is close to the same circumference as your chest. But also please keep in mind that this is a short-waisted, vintage fit, so these shirts will not have that moo-moo-esque dress fit so typical of tee shirts contemporary to the current era. Otherwise, it fits small, to the point where I didn’t wear this tee out too much because it felt restrictive and revealing. Sized up, I imagine it would be great, but not in its current state. Fabric Tip 3: Please note that your chest circumference measure is not necessarily the labeled size you wear in another garment you may own from a different maker or even the same maker, so please take the time to obtain your true chest circumference measure so as to compare to our chart of measures; this will enable us to perform a better job getting you the right size and minimize your chances in having to deal with the hassle and cost of exchanges. As an undershirt these can run small so depending on how you intend to wear it and desired look, consider sizing up. Compare your body measures to the listed garment measures and follow the advice found under the SIZING TIPS tab to obtain a good fit.Keep collections to yourself or inspire other shoppers!

Underwear garments are cut in such a way that the wearer can require zero to even negative space in the shirt due to the stretch characteristics of the fabric. If your chest circumference is 40”, a product with a 20” chest width has a 40” external chest circumference and would provide no external room in this scenario (chest measures 40”, external chest measure of the shirt is 40”, thus zero external room would be realized).The original tee shirts were made on “body-size” looms which yield a shirt with no side seams, thus weaving a perfect tube. To do this requires special looms that are only used by specialist manufacturers these days; subsequently, the looms are hard to source and expensive to produce garments on because you need one loom for each size you want made - but it's the proper way to make a vintage-style tee shirt, and it's the only way they were made in the 1950's - ‘70's.

The expertise for making such a garment is largely only found in one place in the world these days - Japan. The Japanese have become renowned as world experts in vintage-style garment manufacture and home of body-size construction, being able to produce super-accurate, vintage-quality fabrics.The sizing on the undershirts is sensible if you wish to wear the shirts as originally intended - as an undergarment or to simply fit as if it was an undergarment. Just as with traditional underwear, the fabric will stretch nicely to the size and shape of your body, and because these are true tube construction, you can forcibly and permanently stretch the chest/body width by about 1/2" gain. The shirt is buttoned up and the chest is measured from pit to pit with the shirt laying flat, that measurement is then doubled to determine the chest measurement.
