Men's Plus Size Breathable Short Sleeve T-Shirt

How to measure

To choose the best fit, measure both your body and a shirt you already own. Use a soft tape measure, stand naturally (don't hold your breath) and keep the tape level.

Measure your body

• Chest — Measure around the fullest part of your chest, under the arms and across the shoulder blades. Keep the tape comfortably snug, not tight.
• Waist — Measure around your natural waistline (narrowest point) or where you normally wear pants.
• Hips — Measure around the fullest part of your hips while standing with feet together.
• Shoulder width — Measure from the edge of one shoulder (where the arm meets the shoulder) straight across the back to the edge of the other shoulder.
• Sleeve length — With the arm relaxed at the side, measure from the top of the shoulder (where the shoulder seam would sit) down to the desired sleeve end.
• Height — Useful when deciding overall length.

Measure a shirt (garment measurements)

Lay a comparable t-shirt flat on a table and measure as follows. Multiply flat measurements by two when noted.

• Chest (pit to pit) — Measure straight across 1 inch (2–3 cm) below the armholes. Multiply by two for full circumference.
• Body length — From the high point of the shoulder (HPS) at the neckline down to the hem.
• Shoulder — Measure seam-to-seam across the back shoulder.
• Sleeve — From the shoulder seam to the sleeve end for short sleeves.
• Hem — Measure flat across the bottom and multiply by two for full hem circumference.

Tip: Compare your body measurements to the garment measurements and allow 1–3 inches (2.5–7.5 cm) of ease in the chest for a comfortable fit depending on how relaxed you want the fit to be.

Materials & construction

This breathable plus-size t‑shirt is constructed to balance softness, airflow and durability. Typical materials and what they do:

• Cotton (ringspun or combed) — Soft, breathable and comfortable next to skin. Higher cotton content increases comfort and natural breathability.
• Polyester — Adds durability and helps the fabric dry faster; improves shape retention and reduces shrinkage.
• Elastane / Spandex (small percentage, e.g. 2–5%) — Provides stretch for ease of movement and helps the tee keep its shape.
• Jersey knit — A common, lightweight knit for t‑shirts that allows airflow and drapes well.

Typical construction details to look for on the care label: fabric weight (gsm) — midweight tees are often in the 160–220 gsm range for good structure without overheating; yarn type (ringspun, combed) for softness; and exact fiber percentages (e.g., 60% cotton / 40% polyester) for care instructions. Always check the garment label for the exact composition of this specific item.

Model information

Example fit reference (use this to judge how the tee fits on a body similar to yours):

• Model — 6'0" (183 cm), chest 46" (117 cm), weight approx. 230 lbs (104 kg); pictured wearing size 2XL.
• Fit notes — The shown 2XL provides a comfortable, relaxed fit across the chest and shoulders without being oversized. If you prefer a slimmer silhouette, consider sizing down; if you prefer extra room or plan to layer, size up.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Machine wash cold with like colors. Turn the tee inside out to protect the face and any prints.
• Use a gentle cycle and a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and harsh stain removers.
• Avoid fabric softeners if the fabric has moisture-wicking properties; they can reduce performance.
• Tumble dry on low or hang to dry to minimize shrinkage and preserve shape. Remove promptly from the dryer to reduce wrinkles.
• If ironing is needed, use a low to medium heat and iron inside out. Avoid direct high heat on prints or logos.
• Store folded rather than on a hanger to prevent shoulder stretching on heavier garments.
• For items with stretch fibers (spandex/elastane): avoid high-heat drying and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to preserve elasticity.

Style tips

• For a clean everyday look, pair this tee with straight-leg jeans or chinos and low-profile sneakers. Choose darker colors for a slimming effect.
• Layer with an open button-down shirt, lightweight overshirt, or unstructured blazer for added dimension while keeping comfort.
• Half-tuck the front into pants or shorts for casual polish without looking overly styled.
• Pick sleeves that end mid-bicep to flatter the arm; avoid sleeves that are too long which can appear boxy.
• Fit the shoulder seam to your actual shoulder — that keeps the silhouette proportional. If your shoulders are broad, allow a touch more room through the chest and sleeve.
• Neutral colors (navy, gray, black, white) are easy to match; bold colors or subtle stripes work well as statement pieces under a jacket.
• Accessorize simply: a watch, a leather belt and clean shoes can elevate a basic tee into a smart-casual outfit.
