Bella + Canvas T-Shirt Sizing Guide

Bella + Canvas is a reputable choice in the world of t-shirts, known for its modern styles and soft, comfortable fabrics. If you're looking to purchase in bulk, understanding their sizing can ensure you make well-informed decisions that suit your needs and prevent unnecessary returns. Below is our quick and easy guide on Bella+Canvas t-shirts, focusing on sizing details and practical recommendations.

Bella+Canvas offers a mainstream set of sizes that include ranges for women and unisex wearers. Notably, they do not have a specific men's category, choosing instead to offer this unisex range to appeal broadly to all. Women's sizes typically span from Small to XXL. This range is geared to variations typically seen in women's dimensions, making it a sound choice if your target market includes a female demographic.

Unisex sizes cover the range from XS to XXL. The unisex line is designed to achieve a more inclusive fit, suitable for both men and women, which can simplify size selection when addressing diverse customer bases.

One of the defining characteristics of Bella+Canvas t-shirts is their variety of cuts. This variety means that each cut will fit differently, even within the same size bracket.

There are five cuts available: Slouchy: a relaxed, slightly loose fit that's popular for casual styling. Relaxed: offers a more comfortable fitting with ease of movement. Jersey & rib: a fabric style option that gives a close yet stretchy fit due to ribbed material. Flowy: known for a loose body with draping features, flattering on most body types. Boxy: delivers a more square silhouette that offers roominess without being too wide.

Considering the variation in fit between cuts, we would strongly recommend that you order samples before committing to larger bulk purchases. We'd also urge you to sample a few of the various cuts, too. By doing this, you can discern the differences each cut makes in terms of size, feel and overall look. This is particularly significant if your purchase also involves printing or embroidery, as these processes can further affect how they are worn and seen.

For those concerned about discrepancies caused by different dyes affecting t-shirt size, we are satisfied that Bella+Canvas gives consistency across their colour spectrum. This means you can order a sample in any colour and make your main order with confidence, whatever your colour choices.

MINIMISING shrinkage

Composed chiefly from high-quality cotton blends, Bella + Canvas t-shirts show minimal shrinkage. Still, we advise customers to use gentle wash routines, such as cooler temperatures and low-dryer settings, which preserve the t-shirts' original size and extend garment life. All products come with washing instructions on the label, too.

By evaluating the sizes and fits of these t-shirts through samples and trials, you should make better decisions and require fewer (hopefully zero) returns. If you're buying these t-shirts to print on, ensure your printing equipment and consumables are consistent with the fabrics. However, speaking as t-shirt printers ourselves, we have never experienced any issues with Bella + Canvas's high-quality garments. They take screen printing remarkably well for an excellent end product.
