How we measure, what our fabrics weigh, and what to expect from your sample.

Size & Fit

How we measure

Every BLB garment is measured flat — laid down, not on a body. Each measurement below is taken edge to edge across the garment.

Shoulder width Chest width Hem width Sleeve length Body length
  • Body length
    From the highest point of the shoulder straight down to the bottom hem.
  • Chest width
    Straight across the garment, one inch below the underarm seam.
  • Sleeve length
    From the shoulder seam to the end of the sleeve.
  • Shoulder width
    Seam to seam straight across the back of the shoulders.
  • Hem width
    Straight across the bottom opening of the garment.

Our in-house BLB Signature garments run XS–5XL. Sourced catalogue products carry their own size ranges, shown on each product.

Exact measurements are confirmed on your sample before any production run — so the fit is signed off before we make your order.
Fabric Weight

What GSM means

GSM is grams per square metre — the weight of the fabric. Higher GSM means a heavier, thicker, more structured garment; lower GSM is lighter and more breathable.

180GSM
Lightweight Tee
100% Cotton · Single Jersey
Soft and breathable with a light drape. Our everyday tee weight — ideal for warm climates and high-volume runs.
240GSM
Premium Heavyweight Tee
100% Cotton · Single Jersey
Dense, structured and durable with a premium hand-feel. Holds its shape — the choice for a heavier, elevated tee.
330GSM
Signature Hoodie
80% Cotton / 20% Poly · Brushed Fleece
Warm and substantial with a soft brushed inner fleece. The weight behind our in-house BLB Signature hoodies and pullovers.

Sourced catalogue products (headwear — caps & beanies) span a range of other weights — each one is listed on its own product.
