Fit & Sizing for the Dad Shirt

How the Dad Shirt Fits

The Dad Shirt is designed with a modern, masculine fit that looks and feels like a normal t-shirt—while still providing the stretch and structure needed for babywearing.

Unlike oversized or unisex babywearing garments, this is a tailored babywearing shirt specifically for men, balancing:

  • Comfort

  • Structure

  • Everyday wearability

True-to-Size Fit

Most customers find the Dad Shirt fits true to size.

If you typically wear a medium, you’ll likely wear a medium here.

The fabric includes built-in stretch, allowing the shirt to comfortably expand when holding your baby while still maintaining its shape when worn normally.

Between Sizes?

If you’re between sizes we would recommend sizing up if you're between sizes!  Just keep in mind that the Dad Shirt is mean to be more fitted for the structure of the carrier.

 

Fit Considerations for Babywearing

Because this is a babywearing shirt for dads, the fit is slightly different from a standard tee in key ways:

  • Snug enough to support baby securely

  • Flexible enough to move naturally

  • Structured in the chest for proper positioning

A proper fit ensures:

  • Better support

  • Safer positioning

  • More comfort for both dad and baby

Body Types

The Dad Shirt is designed to work across a range of body types, including:

  • Athletic builds

  • Slim builds

  • Broader or stockier frames

The stretch construction adapts to your shape while maintaining support.
