Dance Like Death Is Watching Tee

Fit runs closer to a soft, flattering modern cut than boxy; measured flat, double the width number for full chest. Length goes from about 27" at XS to 35" at 5XL, width from 16.5" to 32", growing in even steps as sizes go up. Fastest way to pick one: lay a tee you own flat and compare its length and underarm-to-underarm width to these numbers.
