XXL is the same size as 2XL, and in Gildan's official chart it fits a 50 to 52 inch chest with a 32 inch body length. The two labels are just two ways of printing the same size, exactly like XXXL and 3XL. The exact measurements shift by brand, and two of the big five brands publish their charts in a different measurement style entirely. Every verified number is below. XXL vs 2XL: Same Size, Two Labels Some brands print "XXL" on the tag and others print "2XL," but within any given brand they mean the identical shirt. The X-count...

Youth XS and 5T are not the same size. 5T measures 22-23 inches at the chest with a 16 inch body length, a wide toddler-style neck, and short, wide sleeves. Youth XS measures 24-26 inches at the chest with an 18 inch body length, a narrower adult-style neck, and proportioned sleeves. Youth XS is the next size up after 5T, built for a different stage of growth, not just a bigger version of the same shirt.

Comfort Colors adult 1717 runs S through 4XL, with flat body widths from 17.5 to 29 inches on the official spec sheet. Youth 9018 runs YXS through YXL. Comfort Colors fits more relaxed than Gildan or Bella+Canvas because of its garment-dye process, and the adult and youth charts use different measurement types, so do not compare them raw. Here are both charts in full, with the source and the fit notes you need before you order.

XXXL is the same as 3XL, and it fits a 54-56 inch chest with a 33 inch body length in Gildan's official chart. XXXXL is the same as 4XL, and it fits a 58-60 inch chest with a 34 inch body length. Both numbers come straight from Gildan's own spec sheet. Other brands measure differently, so the exact fit depends on which blank you order. Every verified measurement is below. Gildan 5000 XXXL and XXXXL Chart (Fits-Chest Circumference) Gildan publishes fits-chest circumference, meaning the range is measured around the fullest part of the chest, not laid flat.

Adult medium fits a 38 to 40 inch chest with a 29 inch body length in most brands. That is the Gildan 5000 baseline, the shirt size most blank apparel companies build their charts around. But medium is not identical everywhere. Some brands measure fits-chest circumference, others measure the shirt laid flat, and the fit runs boxy, slim, or relaxed depending on the label. Here is every brand's adult medium measurement in one place, with the exact source noted for each.
