How to Choose Your Oversized T-Shirt Size in India
For the intended oversized look, order your usual size. If you want a closer fit, go one size down.
The most common question we hear about oversized tees is "which size should I order?" The short answer: for the intended oversized look, order your usual size. If you want a closer fit, go one size down.
But "usual size" is not much help if every brand you own fits differently, which in India is very common. So here is a way to work it out properly.
Start with the Zentoku size chart
This is the same chart shown on every Zentoku product page. All measurements are in inches, with a tolerance of 0.5 to 1 inch.
| Size | Chest (pit to pit) | Length (shoulder to hem) | Shoulder (seam to seam) | Sleeve length |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | 21" | 28.5" | 18.5" | 8.5" |
| M | 22" | 29.5" | 19.5" | 9.5" |
| L | 23" | 30.5" | 20.5" | 10.0" |
| XL | 24" | 31.5" | 21.5" | 10.5" |
| XXL | 25" | 32.5" | 22.5" | 11.0" |
For reference, our model is 5'10" (178 cm) and wears size L for the signature oversized boxy fit. For a more standard tailored fit, size down one size. The full walkthrough is in Oversized T-shirt size guide: what size should I buy?
The more reliable method: measure a tee you already own
The chart is your starting point. A tee you already like is the most reliable guide.
- Lay a well-fitting tee flat on a bed.
- Measure pit-to-pit: straight across the chest, from one armpit seam to the other.
- Measure length: from the highest point of the shoulder, next to the collar, down to the hem.
- Compare both numbers with the size chart on the product page.
Pit-to-pit is the number that matters most. If your usual tee measures close to the chart's pit-to-pit for a size, that is your size for a regular fit.
You can compare your tee against the chart on any product page, for example Phantom Leader or Static Surge Tee.
Which way to go: usual size or one size down?
- Your usual size gives the intended oversized look: wide body, dropped shoulders, a longer hem. (Oversized vs boxy vs regular fit)
- One size down gives a closer, more standard fit while keeping some of the relaxed shape.
- One size up gives extra-baggy, streetwear-runway volume.
Fit tips for common Indian situations
- Shorter frames (under about 5'5"). Oversized tees will sit longer on you. That is part of the look, but if you want the hem at hip level, size down.
- Taller or broader builds. Check length as well as chest. A tee can fit across the chest and still look short on a tall frame.
- Between brands. Sizing differs across Indian and international labels, so do not assume an L is an L. Always compare measurements.
- Pre-shrunk fabric keeps shrinkage low if you wash in cold water and air dry, so you do not need to size up "just in case."
Quick answers
I am usually M in regular tees. What should I order? For the oversized look, M. For a closer fit, S.
Do men and women order the same size? Zentoku uses one oversized size chart for S to XXL, so the same method applies: your usual size for the relaxed look, one size down for a closer one.
What if it does not fit? Zentoku has a 3-day return and cancellation window, with a refund to your original account or ZenWallet balance. COD is available, and delivery takes 8 to 10 working days across India. See the refund policy and shipping policy for details.
