Measurements are taken with the garment laid flat. Width is measured across the body of the tee. As this is an oversized garment, choose your usual size for the intended relaxed silhouette.

How to measure
Swimwear waist

Measure around your natural waistline, just above the hip bone, keeping the tape parallel to the floor. Keep it snug without pulling tight.

T-shirt width

Lay a T-shirt you already like flat and measure straight across the body from side seam to side seam. Compare that measurement with the width table above.

T-shirt length

Measure from the highest point of the shoulder down to the bottom hem and compare it with the garment length shown above.

Fit tip

For swimwear, compare the flat waistband measurement with a pair you already own. For JOURNEY tees, compare the width and length with a favourite oversized T-shirt. This is usually more reliable than choosing solely from the size label.
