Hanes Tall Tee Size Chart and Length Measurements
Quick Answer- The Hanes tall tee runs the same chest width as the standard tee at each size, with two to three inches of added body length.
- Every product listing in a Bear Grips shop links the exact size chart for that piece on the product page.
- Buyers between two sizes should size by chest width first, then confirm length using the tall tee measurements.
- The exact size chart is shown before checkout so end customers order with confidence instead of guessing.
The single most common question before ordering a Hanes tall tee is how the length actually compares to a standard cut, and whether the chest width changes along with it. Here is the practical breakdown, so a buyer or shop owner can pick a size with confidence instead of guessing from a generic chart.
How Tall Sizing Works Compared to Standard
| Fit dimension | Standard tee | Hanes tall tee |
|---|
| Chest width | Standard per size | Same as standard at the matching size |
| Body length | Standard hip-length hem | 2 to 3 inches longer at the matching size |
| Sleeve length | Standard | Proportionally slightly longer |
The tall cut is not a wider shirt. It is the same chest measurement as the standard size with extra length added, which is why picking a tall size should start from the chest, not the height of the wearer alone.
How to Pick a Size
- Measure chest width at the fullest point and match to the standard size chart first.
- If the wearer is above roughly 6'2" or has a long torso, choose the tall version of that same size rather than sizing up a full size.
- Confirm the exact length measurement on the product page before finalizing a large order.

Common Measurement Questions
- How much longer is the tall version? Typically 2 to 3 inches of added body length at the matching size, enough to keep the hem at the hip instead of riding to the waist.
- Does the tall cut run wider too? No. Chest and shoulder width stay proportional to the standard size chart.
- What if the wearer is between two sizes? Size by chest measurement first. Length is solved by choosing the tall version of that size, not by sizing up.
Where to Find the Exact Chart Before You Order
Every product listing in a Bear Grips Pro Shops storefront links a size chart specific to that piece on the product page, so end customers see exact measurements before checkout rather than guessing from a general chart. For team and business orders sizing multiple wearers, run one size sample through before committing to a full roster order.

Does the tall tee run wider in the chest too?
No. Chest and shoulder width stay proportional to the standard size chart. Only the body length is extended.
Should I size up if the wearer is tall, or choose the tall version?
