T-Shirt Size Guide: How to Choose the Right Size in Centimeters Before Ordering Online?

size guide for hoodies and tshirts for all genders

Choosing the right T-shirt size when shopping online in Jordan can be confusing, especially since sizes vary from one brand to another. Sometimes, your usual size "L" fits perfectly at one store but is too loose or too tight at another.

For this reason, we at Jordanian Modern Textile Company have prepared this comprehensive guide to help you easily and clearly select the right size for men's/unisex t-shirts, hoodies, and children's t-shirts.

If you are looking for a T-shirt size guide in Jordan, or asking, "Which T-shirt size fits me in Jordan?", the answer begins with measurements in centimeters, not just the size label.

Why should measurements in centimeters be used?

Sizes such as S, M, and L provide a general idea, but they are not always sufficient. This is because each manufacturer or brand may use a different cut, and the size can vary based on several factors:

  • T-shirt fit: regular, loose, or close-fitting.
  • Fabric type: Cotton, cotton blend, or stretch fabric.
  • Manufacturing and sewing method.
  • A person's height and body shape.
  • Preferred fit: comfortable and loose, or more fitted to the body.

Therefore, when looking for T-shirt sizes in centimeters in Jordan, it is always best to compare the length and width with a T-shirt you already own and find comfortable.

How do I measure T-shirt size in Jordan?

If you are wondering how to measure a T-shirt, follow these simple steps:

Get a T-shirt that fits you well and is comfortable, then lay it out flat on a level surface, such as a table or a bed.

  1. Width measurement: Measure the width of the T-shirt from underarm to underarm. This measurement indicates the chest width of the garment when laid flat.
  2. Length measurement: Measure the length of the T-shirt from the highest point of the shoulder to the bottom hem.
  3. Compare measurements: After taking the measurements, compare them with the size chart on the product page.
  4. If you are between sizes, choose the larger size if you prefer a comfortable or loose fit.

Very important: Don't just measure your body directly; instead, measure a T-shirt you already own that fits well, as this method is more accurate for online shopping.

Men's / Unisex T-Shirt Size Chart

These measurements are in centimeters, and the T-shirt is measured while laid flat on a level surface.

Size Height (cm) Width (cm)
XS 63 52
S 65 55
M 68 57
L 72 59
XL 75 61
2XL 78 63
3XL 80.5 65

Illustrative example

If you have a comfortable T-shirt that is 59 cm wide and 72 cm long, size L will likely be suitable for you.

However, if the T-shirt width that suits you is close to 61 cm and the length is 75 cm, then size XL will likely be the best choice.

How do I choose the right T-shirt size for me?

Choosing a size does not depend solely on height and weight. Two people with the same weight might wear different sizes due to differences in body shape and clothing preferences.

  • For a comfortable fit: choose your usual size, or a larger size if you are between sizes.
  • For the perfect fit: Compare your measurements with a T-shirt that fits you well and choose the closest match.
  • If you're unsure, it's always best to measure a T-shirt you already own rather than guessing.
  • If you prefer a loose fit, choose the larger size—especially if your measurements are near the upper limit of the size range.

Hoodie Size Chart in Jordan

Measuring a hoodie is very similar to measuring a T-shirt; however, keep in mind that a hoodie is usually thicker and slightly looser, and may be worn over a T-shirt.

Lay a suitable hoodie flat on a level surface, and measure the width and length using the same method as before.

Size Height (cm) Width (cm)
XS 66 48
S 68 50
M 72 53
L 74 56
XL 78 58
2XL 81 61
3XL 82 63

For winter, or if you plan to wear the hoodie over other garments, we recommend choosing a larger size if you are unsure, to ensure greater comfort.

Children's T-shirt sizes in Jordan

Choosing the right size for children can be more difficult than for adults, because children vary significantly in height and weight, even if they are the same age.

To ensure you choose the right size, measure a T-shirt that currently fits the child well, then compare it with our size chart below.

Size Height (cm) Width (cm)
0 30 25
1 33 27.5
2 36 31
4 41 34
6 46 37
8 51 40
10 56 43
12 59 45.5

Advice for parents

If the child's size falls between two sizes, it is usually best to choose the larger one so it is comfortable during movement and play, and lasts longer.

Do not rely solely on age, as two children of the same age may differ significantly in height and weight.

Does the fabric type affect the choice of size?

Yes, the type of fabric plays an important role in the feel of the fit and comfort.

At Jordanian Modern Textile, we offer comfortable, soft cotton T-shirts suitable for everyday wear, alongside winter items such as hoodies and sweatshirts made from comfortable fabric blends tailored to the specific product.

Note on natural cotton

It is normal for cotton garments to shrink slightly after the first wash—by approximately 1–1.5 cm—depending on the washing and drying methods used.

Therefore, we always recommend following the washing and care instructions; if you are between sizes and prefer a comfortable fit, choosing the larger size may be the better option.
