How to choose a kids' size

• Measure a T-shirt that already fits well and compare its length and flat half-chest measurement with the chart.
• If the child falls between sizes or you want extra growing room, choose the larger size.
• Check the available sizes on the individual product before ordering.

Measurements are approximate and may vary slightly between garments. Width is the approximate measurement around the garment; half chest is measured flat from armpit to armpit.
