A great fit is the first step in making a shirt the best shirt you own, and we’re committed to delivering a shirt you'll love. Use this page to try and determine the best size for you, but know that if even your best efforts result in receiving the wrong size, we'll gladly exchange it for another.

If you don't already own any American Apparel shirts to reference, here is our general advice: AA shirts are made with a slimmer, tighter fit in mind. If you prefer your shirts to be baggy, order a size up from your regular size. If you are one of the lucky people who are usually in-between sizes, order the larger size. Also keep in mind that our blend shirts have more stretch and elasticity than the 100% cotton shirts, so while their dimensions may be slightly smaller in some instances, in actual use they will feel larger.

For sweatshirts, they all are true-to-size (i.e. the same size as our shirts), though if you prefer a less slim and baggy style or are at the top end of your size in our shirts, you should order a size up.
