Our tees aren’t your average lightweight shirts. Made from 100% ring-spun cotton with a thick 206.8 GSM fabric weight, they offer a structured but breathable feel, ensuring a perfect fit for all body types. Whether you’re rocking the Alpha Bear, Tactical Banana, or Spicy Wings & Tacos, here’s how to find your ideal size.
Understanding the Fit
Our heavyweight tees have a relaxed fit that gives you room to move without looking oversized. They're built for bigger men, but they also provide a stylish, structured look for slimmer and regular-sized guys.
For Slim Men: A Roomy, Yet Structured Look Tactical Look
If you have a leaner build, these tees will offer a slightly oversized look—perfect for layering long sleeves or pairing with tactical pants for an effortlessly rugged, tactical aesthetic.
✅ Size Recommendation: Stick to your usual size for a relaxed fit, or size down for a more tailored look.
✔ Example: If you usually wear a medium, but prefer a fitted look, go for a small.
For Regular Builds: The Perfect Balance of Comfort and Structure
For men with an average build, our heavyweight tees provide a structured yet comfortable fit that offers a natural fit that sits comfortably across the chest and shoulders—not too tight, not too baggy. Whether you're at the range, hitting the gym, or just out for tacos and trouble, this shirt moves with you.
✅ Size Recommendation: Stick with your true size for the perfect balance of comfort and structure.
✔ Example: If you typically wear a large, order a large for the best fit. Order a medium for a more athletic fit.
For Bigger Men: Built for Strength & Confidence
Let’s be real: Most brands don’t consider bigger guys when designing t-shirts. If you’re on the bigger side, whether it’s muscle or just pure presence, this t-shirt is made to flatter without feeling restrictive At Fat But Deadly, we consider the bigger of blokes. Our tees have wider widths, longer lengths, and a relaxed cut, so you don’t feel squeezed in or uncomfortable. You’ll have the freedom to move without worrying about the shirt clinging or riding up.
✅ Size Recommendation: Stick to your regular size for a comfortable fit, or size up if you want extra room.
✔ Example: If you normally wear an XL, get an XL for a relaxed fit, or go for a 2XL if you prefer a looser, more casual style.
