XXL means the same thing as 2XL, and XXXL means the same thing as 3XL. The X-count in front of the L is literally counting how many times "extra" applies: one extra (XL), two extra (XXL, also written 2XL), three extra (XXXL, also written 3XL). In chest inches, using Bella+Canvas's own general size chart, XL fits 46-49 inches, XXL fits 50-53 inches, and XXXL fits 54-57 inches. Both questions, "what number is this letter" and "what number of inches is this letter," have real answers, and we cover both below.

Bella+Canvas is the only brand we could verify with a women's-specific plus fit, and it only goes up to 3XL, sized by dress-size range rather than inches, at 23-27. No brand we checked, including Bella+Canvas, publishes a verified women's-specific cut at 4XL. If you need a true 4XL, the honest answer is a unisex-cut shirt, which we cover with real inch measurements below. Bella+Canvas Women's Relaxed Fit, Verified Today Bella+Canvas publishes several women's fit categories (Jersey and Rib, Relaxed, Slouchy, Flowy), and Relaxed is the only one that reaches plus sizing. These are dress-size ranges as Bella+Canvas itself publishes them,...

Gildan, Bella+Canvas, and Comfort Colors all currently make and publish verified 4XL specs. Gildan's 5000 fits a 58-60 inch chest in 4XL. Bella+Canvas's 3001 measures 30 inches laid flat (about 60 inches around) in 4XL. Comfort Colors's 1717 measures 29 inches laid flat (about 58 inches around) in 4XL. All three ship as blanks we can print on, or you can buy them plain using the links below. Every number here comes from the brand's own spec sheet, not a guess.

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.

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.
