Your first wash is the real test. Take note of how the tee fits after it dries. If it's now too snug, you know to size up next time. If it's still too billowy, you might prefer your regular size for a more fitted oversized look.

Also pay attention to the length. Some tees shrink more in length than width. If your tee is now too short, that's a sign to size up or wash cold and air dry.

That's the honest truth about oversized sizing: it's a learning curve, but once you know your numbers, you'll nail it every time. And if you're still torn, the Windbar Community has plenty of people who've been where you are—ask them before you order.
