SIZING GUIDE
We print all of our designs on ‘Bella + Canvas 3001’ t-shirts. Below you will find a sizing guide, some information about the shirt, and various reviews (mostly positive) describing how the shirt fits, washes, and feels.
We love this shirt, and we tried a bunch. It uses airlume pre-shrunk cotton so neither of the three blends shrink much (Bella + Canvas claims 5% shrink). It’s a very soft, lightweight shirt that holds up well over multiple washes.
It’s a unisex designed shirt and we have found it fits well on various body types. Overall, it runs true-to-size but a shade longer than most other brands. If you are on the border between sizes, we recommend going a size up. It will shrink some if dried on high vs. medium/low heat.
The solid color shirts are made of 100% cotton, while the heather shirts are mostly 52% cotton and 48% polyester. Two gray heather blends are 90% cotton, 10% polyester. The three blends feel mostly the same and seem to behave similarly in the wash.
- 100% Cotton: White, Orange, True Royal, Brown, Black, Silver, Kelly Green, Military Green, Baby Blue, Asphalt, Navy, Yellow, Purple, Maroon, Red
- 90% Cotton / 10% Polyester: Athletic Heather, Black Heather
- 52% Cotton/48% Polyester: Heather Green, Heather Kelly, Heather Forest, Heather Columbia, Heather True Royal, Heather Deep Teal, Dark Gray Heather, Heather Navy, Heather Red

This shirt is currently sporting a 4.6/5 stars on Amazon (5000+ reviews) and 4.9/5 on Shirt Space (700+ reviews). We compiled some reviews here that describe different attributes of the shirt:
“I always feel stuck between a Small and Medium, but not with Bella Canvas. Fit is great, especially after a wash. I went with a Medium and the wash let it shrink just enough to give me that desired fit and length. The color is vivid, construction great, and the feel of the shirt is comfortable with a nice weight to it. These are my new go-to shirts since I love no logos”
“Truly like the color and cloth as the cloth is very soft and comfy. It's a little longer than I had wanted but that's mostly because I'm short, not a fault of the garment! Seems to wash well and didn't shrink or fade.”
“The t-shirt is soft and comfy, but it’s a bit sheer because the fabric is a bit thin. I’m a lady who occasionally likes mens t shirts because they are softer and wider than lady t-shirts, but I don’t like that you can see through this one. Maybe the darker color shirts don’t have this problem.”
“While the t-shirts are lightweight, they are made of a very nice soft cotton, perfect for hot weather. They shrink a size in the wash, and stretch out again when you wear them. Size up one size if you want them loose. I find them really comfortable, and they come in many beautiful colors.”
“I have some 20 year unshrinkable t-shirts, which are too hot for hot weather, and cost twice as much. I bought 2 dozen of these.”
“These shirts are soft, well made and don’t feel cheap and haphazard like the Haynes nano shirts I tried first. They have an athletic cut, with slightly shorter sleeves, but they’re not so “muscle shirt” like. I went one size up for a touch more looseness, but the regular size isn’t too tight. They come a little long so you can wash and dry them without them becoming belly shirts. Have bought multiple shirts since.”
“got a large for a medium/large guy and it was snug. i recommend a size up”
“Love this brand for my vinyl business. This style (3001) is so soft and is pre-wash, so no shrinking.”
“This is a good looking T-Shirt and is made of super soft material. It fits well and doesn't twist out of shape after washing.”
“Fits comfortably. Sizes are correct”
“These are my husbands favorite workout shirts. He is 6’, 205lb, wearing an XL. They are lightweight, but still cotton and breathable. Not synthetic and bad for your skin when sweating. They have a good length, which is so important to feeling comfortable in your clothes. They don’t shrink up when washed. He looks great in them also.”
“I got a promotional Bella Canvas T-shirt a few years ago that changed my life. It fit perfectly, and it was extraordinarily comfortable. It quickly became my favorite shirt even though it had a large, ugly corporate logo on it. I eventually decided to find Bella Canvas shirts online, and now my closet is filled with different colored Bella Canvas shirts. These are seriously the only t-shirts I will buy in the future.”
“I’m 5’7” with an athletic build. I went with a size small which fits very well in my chest and shoulders. The shirt falls right above my crotch and the cotton/poly blend conforms to your body nicely and is very wrinkle resistant. I purchased 25 tees across 7 colors.”
“It's incredibly soft! These shirts are great for screen printing. They run a tiny bit slimmer than normal cotton tee shirts, so especially if you are buying for a male, I would size up. My husband usually wears a L in tees, but is an XL in Bella + Canvas. They don't shrink much in the wash which is another great bonus.”
“Exactly what it says it is. Nice and soft, comfy tee shirt. Has held up well through several washings. XL fit a guy with a beer belly well, no belly gap.”
“I’m 5 9’ and 320 pounds and this shirt fit me so well (4XL). I was worried but the material is really soft and the color blue was beautiful!”
