American Apparel Size Chart

Within a brand, styles usually share a pattern: American Apparel cuts these 4 to the same chest and body length at most sizes, and what separates them is fabric, weight, neckline and how far up the size range they run. Where a style does diverge, the tables below show it.

It is between brands that a size L stops meaning one thing. A small measures 18″ across the chest at Gildan and Bella+Canvas and 19″ at Next Level, and the three brands’ own body charts disagree about what chest a size S is even for. Collect sizes once and order two brands from them and some of it will not fit.
