How Your T-Shirts Should Fit | T-Shirt Fit Guide for Men
About this video
McGoff teaches men how to properly fit t-shirts by breaking down four key areas: shoulders, sleeves, torso, and length. He emphasizes that proper fit is essential for looking polished, and addresses the particular challenge shorter men face in finding appropriately proportioned shirts. McGoff also discusses how to assess fit using simple techniques like pinching fabric.
Key takeaways
- McGoff argues that shoulder seams should align with the end of your shoulder bone, not extend down your arm
- McGoff recommends sleeves should end roughly halfway between your elbow and armpit, and fit closely around your arm with about a half inch of pinchable fabric
- McGoff teaches that t-shirt length should hit about two inches past your waistband or mid-fly, as longer lengths make you appear shorter
- McGoff notes that the torso should have a fitted appearance with roughly one inch of pinchable fabric at the lower ribs on either side
