Fit Guide

Pick the shirt the way you pick a tool — by how you want it to sit, not by the photo alone. 


Measurements below are the garment laid flat. Width is across the chest, one inch below the armhole. Length is from the high point of the shoulder to the hem. Allow about an inch either way — blanks vary a little by lot. Measurements are provided by our suppliers and may vary by up to 2" (5 cm).


How to choose

1. Open the product. The short fit note names the scale: Close, Regular, Classic, or Relaxed.
2. Find that block below.
3. If you are between sizes, follow the note on that block — not a generic “size up.”


A shirt you already own, laid flat and measured the same way, is more useful than a memory of what you buy at the mall.

Shade can vary slightly between lots. That is garment dye, not a defect.

If the size is still wrong

Email hello@gardenrising.com within 14 days of delivery. Include your order number and the size you need. We cannot restock a custom-printed shirt — keep the one you have. We will email a Garden Rising gift card for the product price (not shipping). Use it at checkout to order the same design in the corrected size. If that size costs more, you pay the difference on the new order.

Gift cards are issued by us after we confirm the request. They are not a product on the shop.
