T-shirt Size Guide (India Edition) – Find Your Perfect Fit
Buying T-shirts online in India can be tricky. Sizes differ from brand to brand, and global charts (US/UK) often don’t match Indian body types. That’s why we created this easy T-shirt size guide for India. Whether you want a slim fit, regular fit, or the trending oversized style, this chart will help you pick the perfect size.
👉 Once you know your size, you can shop our Men’s T-shirt Collection confidently.
Why Indian T-shirt Sizes Are Different
If you’ve ever ordered a size M from a global brand but found it too tight or too loose, you’re not alone. Indian T-shirt sizes are slightly different because:
-
Average Indian body frames differ from Western standards.
-
Local brands use chest measurements in inches, while many international charts use cm.
-
Oversized & regular fits are trending differently in India compared to the West.
This means: choosing your size using an India-specific chart gives you the best fit.
