General Recommendations

If your body measurement is between two sizes, go to the lower size for a tighter fit or the higher size for a looser fit.

If you are planning on applying 3 different screenprint "hits", you should consider going up 1 size (for technical shirts) as your garment will pass through a hot oven 3 times to set the ink. This could cause the garment to shrink. This does not count for GAIA Full Body Sublimation apparel.
