Bear Grips Pro ShopsTriblend T-Shirt Size Chart and Fit Guide for Custom Merch Sellers
- Triblend tees generally run true to size in a relaxed unisex fit, not a fitted athletic cut.
- Because the fabric is lighter and drapier than cotton, some buyers size down for a closer fit.
- The Bear Grips triblend lineup runs adult sizes only right now: a men's crew, a women's tee, and a women's racerback tank.
- Posting a clear size note on your product page cuts down on sizing-related support messages and returns.
Sizing questions are the single most common reason a buyer messages a seller before ordering a custom tee, and triblend gets asked about more than most fabrics because it fits differently than cotton. Here is what to know about triblend sizing and what to put on your own product pages to head off the questions before they happen.
How Triblend Fits Differently Than Cotton
Because triblend fabric has more give and less structure than cotton, a triblend tee in the same labeled size as a cotton tee can feel slightly looser or drapier on the body, even when the actual garment measurements are close. This is not a sizing error, it is the fabric doing what triblend does. Buyers who want a closer, more fitted look sometimes size down one size from what they would order in cotton.
General Size Range
| Product | Size range | Fit |
|---|---|---|
| Men's Premium Triblend Crew Tee | Standard adult range | Relaxed unisex |
| Women's Premium Triblend Tee | Standard women's adult range | Fitted through the body |
| Women's Premium Triblend Racerback Tank | Standard women's adult range | Fitted, athletic cut |
Exact size charts with measurements are shown on each product page in the shop before checkout.
Bear Grips Pro Shops: Custom Apparel for Your Team. No Minimums. Free Shipping.A Note on Youth Sizing
The three triblend pieces currently in the Bear Grips catalog are adult sizing only. If you need a youth-size tee, the Bear Grips Youth Airlume Cotton Athletic Tee is the closest catalog match, in 100% cotton rather than triblend. It is worth listing both if your shop serves families or team programs with mixed adult and youth orders.
What to Tell Your Buyers on the Product Page
A short, honest size note on the product page cuts down on pre-order questions and post-order returns. A working template: "This triblend tee is a relaxed unisex fit. If you prefer a closer fit, consider sizing down. See the size chart tab above for exact measurements." That single sentence answers the question before it becomes a message in your inbox.

Does triblend run small or large compared to cotton?
It generally runs true to size, but because the fabric has more drape and less structure, some buyers perceive it as looser and size down for a closer fit.
Is there a youth triblend option in the catalog?
Not currently. The triblend lineup is adult sizing only. The Bear Grips Youth Airlume Cotton Athletic Tee is the closest youth match, in 100% cotton.
Where do I find exact measurements before ordering?
Each product page in the shop includes a size chart tab with body measurements for every size offered.
Do the men's and women's triblend styles fit the same way?
No. The men's crew tee is a relaxed unisex fit, while the women's tee and racerback tank are cut closer to the body.
