Not sure what size to order? Simply measure against a similar item that currently fits your child and compare with the measurements in our size chart.

All measurements are taken with garments lying flat.

Lay the chosen garment on a flat surface, smooth out any wrinkles.

Chest: Measure across chest from side seam to side seam just below the armpit.

Length: Measure from the point where the shoulder seam meets the neckline ribbing, straight down to the bottom of the shirt.

 

Children's Tees

Our children's t-shirts are a standard fit. If your child prefers loose-fitting shirts, we recommend choosing the next size up.

To help your clothes (and our planet) enjoy a longer, better life, we recommend washing printed and dark items in cold water, hanging to dry or drying on a cool setting.

Adult Tee Sizing

*SIZING UPDATE*

Due to the popularity of our first adult tee, the TENACITY, we've expanded our adult styles to include the whole family.

Sizing for our newest adult designs CONTRIBUTION, CREATIVITY, PATIENCE and STRENGTH has been updated. 

All new adult styles are true UNISEX sizing. Please note, our original adult tee, the TENACITY, is sized down for a more Mama Bear-like fit.

Please check sizing carefully before placing your order.

 

Our original adult TENACITY Tees are unisex t-shirts sized down to be better fit for a Mama Bear. (Ex: a MEDIUM Tenacity is a unisex/men's SMALL)

If you're buying for a Papa Bear, please select a shirt one size size UP.
