If you are on this article, that means you are considering purchasing an oversized tee and would like to clear doubts in your head before making a purchase. Through my experience working in the fashion industry, I've curated my top 5 tips before purchasing an oversized tee:
1: Size
In an ideal world (or in a world where you shop from The Vault), you would purchase the same size that you usually choose while purchasing a regular-sized tee.
However, due to a lack of standards in sizing rules, quite often, some manufacturers in order to save costs, sell oversized tees that are not exactly as oversized as you would expect them to be. In order to avoid this problem, there's a size chart below, along with images, tee sizes and height of our models which you could use as a reference to make rough estimates on how the tee would potentially fit you. (we apologise for the lack of plus-sized models due to availability however at the stage of drafting this article we are planning on working with some very soon)
Size Chart
Size | XS | S | M | L | XL |
Chest | 41 | 43 | 45 | 47 | 49 |
Length | 28 | 28.5 | 29 | 29.5 | 30 |

2: Material and Weight
Oversized tees are available in different types of materials with cotton holding a significant share of the market. It is important to keep in mind that the weight of a T-shirt is advertised in Grams per Square Meter. A very high GSM tee shirt (200 and above) may have a slightly better texture but may cause the teeshirt to feel heavy and would make you sweat like a melting ice cream on a hot/humid day.
A low GSM tee shirt (below 155) is not preferable as the lifespan of the teeshirt may be much lower.
The Vault teeshirts in the earlier section are all 180 GSM which falls at the golden point of comfort and quality
3:Shipping, sales and after sales service
Now that you're loaded out with the information that you were looking for, it's time to make the purchase. Think about different outfits you could craft with the tees before you place an order so you know exactly how to dress the day the order arrives. Oh? Yes! Gotta make sure your order arrives!
Make sure your retailer provides you with a confirmation email and a tracking number within 24 hours of placing the order. If you have your doubts while trying a new brand, reach out to their teams on their support pages, verify their domain names and email addresses, to make sure they are legit. And if you choose to order with us, you'll get all that and beyond, heck,we'll wait and chill around with you until your order is in your hands!
