Dock Rats / 22.05.2026

Compare with a T-shirt you already own

Lay the T-shirt flat. Measure the width below the sleeves and the length from the highest shoulder point to the hem. Compare with the product table. An M in an oversized model can differ from an M in the Basic Tee.

Fabric and print colour

The three oversized models use 100% organic combed ring-spun cotton at 200 g/m². On the Collection model, the colour option refers to the print colour. Always check the selected variant’s images.

Reading the width measurement

A flat width measures from one side of the T-shirt to the other. It is not the same as chest circumference. Lay a T-shirt you like on a flat surface without stretching it, note its width and length, then compare with the specific Dock Rats model’s chart.

If you want to keep the wide shape but shorten the tee, compare both measurements. Going down one size changes more than length.

Three designs, one starting point

Lost Rat, Dock Rat is Watching and Collection share an oversized direction and a 200 g/m² fabric weight. Choose the graphic and colour, then confirm the measurements on the product page. Collection differs because its colour selection applies to the print on a white T-shirt.

Can I just size up in Basic Tee?

A larger Basic Tee gives more room, but its shoulders, neckline and length still follow that model’s construction. Compare all Dock Rats T-shirts to see the differences. Basic Tee is the classic alternative.
