What is an oversized T-shirt?

An oversized T-shirt is a relaxed-fit tee designed to be larger than your standard size, offering a loose, comfortable silhouette. It typically features dropped shoulders, a longer body, and wider sleeves — making it a versatile wardrobe staple for casual and streetwear styling.

Are oversized T-shirts suitable for everyday wear?

Yes. Oversized T-shirts are ideal for everyday wear. Their relaxed fit offers comfort throughout the day, while their clean, minimal design makes them easy to style for work, errands, or casual outings.

What fabric is used in The Legacy Company oversized T-shirts?

Our oversized T-shirts are crafted from 100% premium combed cotton at 240 GSM. This fabric is soft, breathable, and durable — designed to hold its shape and colour wash after wash.

What does 240 GSM mean?

GSM stands for Grams per Square Metre — a measure of fabric weight. At 240 GSM, our cotton is heavier and denser than standard T-shirts (typically 160–180 GSM), resulting in a more structured, premium feel that drapes well and lasts longer.

How should an oversized T-shirt fit?

An oversized T-shirt should have:

  • Dropped shoulders sitting slightly below your natural shoulder line
  • A body length that falls past the hip
  • Sleeves that reach mid-bicep or lower

The fit should feel relaxed — not sloppy. Refer to our Size Guide for exact measurements.

Are oversized T-shirts unisex?

Yes. Oversized T-shirts are inherently unisex. The relaxed silhouette suits all body types and genders. Women often size down for a cropped look, while men typically wear their true size or size up for a more relaxed fit.

Can oversized T-shirts be worn in summer?

Absolutely. Our 240 GSM combed cotton is breathable and moisture-absorbent, making it comfortable in warm weather. The loose fit also allows better air circulation compared to fitted tees.

How do I style an oversized T-shirt?

Oversized T-shirts are highly versatile. Here are a few ways to wear them:

  • Pair with cargo pants or joggers for a streetwear look
  • Tuck the front into straight-leg jeans for a smart-casual outfit
  • Layer under an open shirt or jacket
  • Wear with shorts for a relaxed summer look

How should I wash an oversized cotton T-shirt?

  • Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle
  • Turn the T-shirt inside out before washing
  • Use a mild detergent — avoid bleach
  • Tumble dry on low or air dry flat to maintain shape
  • Do not iron directly on prints

Will my oversized T-shirt shrink?

Our T-shirts are pre-shrunk during manufacturing. Minimal shrinkage (1–3%) may occur if washed in hot water or tumble dried on high heat. To preserve size and shape, always wash cold and air dry or tumble dry on low.
