Ryan is the ultimate T-shirt. This gender-neutral design has two versions with mix-and-match details, so you can sew a tee that best suits your style.
Version 1 has short sleeves and a V-neckline, and version 2 has long sleeves and a crewneck. An optional chest pocket is a handy detail for both versions. Sew the tee that best represents you!
Jule is wearing a size 0 blended to a 2 at the hips, with the short sleeves lengthened 1/2" and the long sleeves lengthened 1". Her measurements are 32 1/2”, 27”, 37”, and she is 5'7" tall.
Eric is wearing a size 8 Ryan tee. His measurements are 37”, 29”, 28”, and he is 5’9” tall.

Fabrics to shop: This shirt doesn’t require 4-way stretch, which gives you more options. Look for medium-weight knit fabrics with at least 25% of 2-way stretch, such as cotton jersey, bamboo or soy jersey blends, rib knit, and interlock knit. Fabrics that do have 4-way stretch or contain some rayon will have more drape than fabrics with 2-way stretch.
Fabrics to avoid: Nearly any knit will work for this tee, so just avoid wovens.
Fit: This tee has a classic fit that is more straight than fitted. Pay most attention to your shoulders and chest measurement when selecting a size.
