sizing
how do we size our tees?
The image below (opposite) will give you an indication where we take our measurements on our t-shirts. The graph further below gives the actual measurements for each size in our curve, taken with the shirt lying on a flat surface, fabric at rest (no stretch).
Length = from the top of the right (facing) neckline, where the shoulder seam meets the neck stitch, to the bottom of the shirt, straight down.
Width = from under the right (facing) armpit across the chest to the edge of the seam under the left armpit.

care instructions
wash and wear
All Tshirt Terrorist Tees are pure cotton items, sourced from local suppliers who use 160 gsm (gram) fabric. The best results for washing your tee will come from a cold machine wash (0 degrees, not 30 degrees.)
Most cotton when washed for the first time may be liable to shrink up to 5% or 1/2 size, and Tshirt Terrorist tees are no different. Our tees are not pre-shrunk, yet, given the thick weave of our 160 gsm t-shirts, this shrinkage is marginal. This tendency for cotton fibers to shorten when first washed should be taken into account, especially if you are measuring your pre-existing shirts (which might have shrunk) using our graph above in order to get an accurate sizing comparison. The best way to minimise standard cotton shrinkage is to hand wash your t-shirt for the first wash, and then allow to dry on a flat surface.
Our tees, once washed, seldom require ironing. Drip drying on a line should be sufficient, although try keep your tee out of direct sunlight while drying, or dry them inside out. As a rule, repeated exposure to sunlight has been known to bleach dyed cotton. Under no circumstances should you tumble dry your Tshirt Terrorist Tshirt. We cannot guarantee that tumble dryed tees won’t shrink significantly (one whole size). And lastly, it goes without saying – never bleach, and never iron on the print. If you need to iron, iron reverse side only.
