Does the Comfort Colors 1566 run big?

It is cut generously — around three inches wider in the chest than the 1717 tee at the same size, because it is meant to be worn over a layer. Most people take their usual size.

Why is there no sleeve length on this chart?

Because the brand's spec sheet does not publish one for this style. We would rather show a gap than a number we did not read off the sheet.

Comfort Colors 1566 Size Chart

Ring Spun Crewneck Sweatshirt. Brands publish two different tables and call both a size chart, so both are below and each says which it is.

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 at back	Chest
S	27 1/2"	21"
M	28 1/2"	23"
L	29 1/2"	25"
XL	30 1/2"	26 1/2"
2XL	31 1/2"	28"
3XL	32 1/2"	29 1/2"

Body length at back: Measured from high point shoulder to finished hem at back.
Chest: Measured across the chest one inch below armhole when laid flat.

Body measurements

The person, not the shirt. Chest is measured all the way around the fullest part with the tape horizontal.

Size	Chest
S	36" – 37"
M	38" – 40"
L	42" – 44"
XL	46" – 48"
2XL	50" – 52"
3XL	54" – 56"

Chest: Measure under the arm and around the fullest part of the chest with arms down, keeping the tape horizontal.

What the numbers mean in practice

Nearly three inches wider in the chest than the 1717 tee at the same nominal size, which is what you would expect of a sweatshirt meant to go over something.

The sheet gives no sleeve measurement, so this page does not invent one. If sleeve length matters for your job, measure a sample.

Garment-dyed at 9.5 oz, so it holds a lot of dye and the lot-to-lot variation is more visible than on a tee. One lot per job.

The 38 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 — 38 colours in S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL.
