American Apparel 2001 Size Chart
Fine Jersey Tee. American Apparel publishes one table for this style — the garment itself, laid flat. Some brands also publish a body chart saying which chest a size is meant to fit; this sheet does not, so neither does this page.
Garment measurements
The shirt itself, laid flat on a table. Chest is measured across, one inch below the armhole, so it is half the way round.
| Size | Body length | Chest width (laid flat) |
|---|---|---|
| XS | 27 3/4" | 16 1/2" |
| S | 28 3/4" | 18" |
| M | 29 3/4" | 20" |
| L | 30 3/4" | 22" |
| XL | 31 3/4" | 24" |
| 2XL | 32 3/4" | 26" |
| 3XL | 33 3/4" | 28" |
| 4XL | 34 2/4" | 30" |
- Body length
- Finished measurement, with a tolerance of plus or minus 3/4 inch stated on the sheet.

Fabric and construction
- The spec sheet publishes finished measurements only — it states no fabric weight or composition, so neither does this page.
What the numbers mean in practice
The chest matches the Bella+Canvas 3001 exactly at every size from XS to 4XL — 16 1/2″ at XS, 18″ at S, 22″ at L. The body length runs three quarters of an inch longer throughout.
The 4XL body length is printed on the sheet as 34 2/4″, which is 34 1/2″ written unusually. It is reproduced here as printed rather than tidied.
American Apparel publishes tolerances, which is more than most brands do: plus or minus 3/4 inch on body length and 1/2 inch on chest. A sample measuring slightly off the table is still inside spec.
This sheet covers the 2001. We also stock the 2001W, which is a separate item in the catalogue; do not assume the measurements carry across without checking.
The 21 colours we stock
A distributor carries a subset of what a mill offers, so this is our range rather than the brand’s full palette — 21 colours in XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL. The spec sheet also lists 4XL, which we do not carry in this style.

Common questions
- Does the American Apparel 2001 run small?
- It measures the same across the chest as a Bella+Canvas 3001 at every size and runs three quarters of an inch longer in the body. It is a fitted cut, so it reads slimmer than a boxy Gildan at the same nominal size.
- What tolerance does American Apparel allow?
- Plus or minus 3/4 inch on body length and plus or minus 1/2 inch on chest width, stated on the spec sheet itself. A sample a little off the table is still within specification.
- What is the difference between the 2001 and the 2001W?
- They are separate items in the catalogue. This chart is transcribed from the 2001 sheet, and the measurements should not be assumed to carry across to the 2001W without checking.
