Disclaimer: No two shirts measure exactly the same. Different brands, colors, and sizes can vary the true measurements of each individual shirt. Always measure your shirts to make sure that the digital printing design sizes you have previously used still stand true. To avoid waste of material, you can cut a piece of scrap paper to the size of your design and use that as a test.
