Size & Fit

Most AARBAB pieces have a relaxed fit. The Return to the Future tees have a regular, vintage fit. All measurements below are in centimetres, taken with the garment laid flat. Still unsure? Message us on WhatsApp at +971 54 497 4556 and we'll help you pick.

How to measure

The easiest way to choose is to measure a T-shirt you already love wearing and compare it with the charts.

  • Chest width: lay the tee flat and measure straight across, 2 cm below the armholes.
  • Front length: from the highest point of the shoulder down to the hem.
  • Shoulder: along the shoulder seam, from the neckline to where the sleeve starts.
  • Sleeve length: from the shoulder seam to the end of the sleeve.
  • Waist flat (bottoms): across the top of the waistband, laid flat and unstretched.

Chest and waist are flat measurements, so double them for the full circumference.
