T-Shirt Quality & Sizing

Every item in my shop is made-to-order just for you, which helps reduce waste and avoid overproduction - but it also means I don’t hold stock, so it’s really important to know what you’re buying before you place your order.

Below you’ll find full specs for each clothing type and brand, including fabric weight, feel, and where the blank garments are sourced from.

🧵 How to Measure for the Best Fit

Lay your favourite-fitting T-Shirt (or hoodie/sweatshirt) flat and measure it across the chest (armpit to armpit) and from the top of the shoulder to the bottom hem. Compare those measurements with the size chart on the product page to find your best fit.

If you like a looser fit, please size up!

If you have any questions at all before ordering, please check out the FAQOrdering – How It Works, or Policy pages - or just email me directly at sharon@sarcasticscots.com. I’m always happy to help.
