How the 1717 Fits
- Boxy and relaxed. Chest widths line up with a classic heavyweight tee, but the 1717 runs a little shorter in the smaller sizes. A medium is 28″ long against 29″ on a Gildan 5000.
- Long sleeves for a tee. The sleeve measurement runs longer than most budget tees, which gives it that lived-in look.
- Garment-dyed. The color is dyed after the shirt is sewn, which is why every 1717 has that soft, faded, slightly varied shade.
- Want it oversized? Go up one size. Want it fitted? Most people stay true to size rather than sizing down.
