Most people open a blanks site and go straight to the color. We understand why: it is the first thing you see. But color is the easiest thing to get right and the easiest to change. Fit is what decides whether a tee gets worn twice a week or folded into a drawer.
Every ENVY garment is cut from one pattern block, so the fits are variations on one shape rather than twelve separate guesses. That makes choosing simpler than it looks.
The five fits, in plain terms
- Classic. The reference. The Classic Tee at 180gsm is what every other fit is cut against, true to size. The Lightweight Tee, Longsleeve and Tank share it.
- Fitted. The Fitted Tee is cut close through the chest, with 5% elastane. Size up if you want it to sit like the Classic.
- Relaxed. The Heavyweight 220 and all three fleece pieces. Roomy through the body, still true to size.
- Boxy. A dropped shoulder and a wide rib collar. The Midlength Boxy sits at the belt; the Crop Boxy stops at the hip bone. Size down on the Crop Boxy for a tighter box.
- Oversized. The Oversized Boxy is deliberately large. Size down one for a relaxed fit.
Fit matters more once you print
If you are putting artwork on a blank, the fit moves the artwork. A dropped shoulder pulls the sleeve seam down the arm, so a wide chest print sits differently on a boxy than on a classic. A cropped body leaves a back print less room before the hem. Decide the fit, size the artwork to it, and only then choose the color.
How to choose in five minutes
Take the tee you reach for most and lay it flat. Measure across the chest from armpit to armpit, then down the back from collar to hem. Compare those two numbers with the size guide on each garment, which gives chest and length in inches, measured flat. Whichever ENVY fit lands closest is where to start.
If two fits are close, order both. You have sixty days to send anything blank back, worn or washed, and we would rather you kept the right one than the nearest one.
Color can wait until the shape is settled. It is the one decision you can change in thirty seconds.
