Unisex T-shirts are designed around a shared fit block rather than a specifically men's or women's cut. For cannabis apparel shoppers, the right fit usually comes down to four variables: chest room, shirt length, shoulder width, and fabric weight. If you check those details before buying, you are less likely to end up with a tee that feels too tight, too long, or too boxy.
At BadApple Farms Cannabis Kings Co., several graphic tees are described as unisex and include useful fit cues such as relaxed fit, medium-weight cotton, heavyweight construction, and structured drape. Those details help you decide whether to stay true to size, size down for a closer fit, or size up for a looser streetwear look.
What a unisex T-shirt fit usually means
A unisex T-shirt fit is typically straighter through the torso than a fitted women's tee and less tailored at the waist. In practice, that means more neutral proportions through the chest, body, and sleeves, which works well for casual cannabis streetwear and graphic tees.
For example, the store's Heavy Cotton Gothic Tee is described as a unisex graphic T-shirt built on a medium-weight Gildan 5000 body for a more structured feel than lighter fashion tees. The store also lists a BadApple Farms Cyberpunk Cotton Graphic Tee as a unisex cotton T-shirt made on a Gildan 5000 blank in medium-weight 180 g/m2 fabric, which is another sign of a classic straight-cut unisex body.
How to choose the right size
Start with a T-shirt you already own and like. Lay it flat and compare the chest width, body length, and shoulder width to the size chart on the product page. This is more accurate than choosing only by your usual letter size, because unisex tees can vary by blank, fabric, and print method.
If you want a closer fit, many shoppers prefer to compare shoulder width first and then confirm chest room. If you want a looser cannabis streetwear fit, prioritize chest and body length so the shirt hangs cleanly without pulling across the torso.
Use this quick size approach
- Measure a favorite T-shirt laid flat.
- Check chest width first, then length.
- Compare the product description for words like "relaxed fit," "structured," or "boxy."
- Choose true to size for a standard fit.
- Size down only if the product is described as roomy and you prefer a closer silhouette.
- Size up if you want extra drape for layering or oversized styling.
Fit terms that matter when buying cannabis graphic tees
Product descriptions often tell you more than the size label. A tee described as relaxed fit usually gives more room through the body. A structured tee often feels less clingy and holds its shape better. A boxy tee usually has a shorter, wider silhouette than a standard unisex shirt.
The store's 180gsm Cotton Graphic Tee is described as a medium-weight 180 g/m2 cotton tee with a relaxed fit and better shape retention than many thinner fashion tees. By contrast, the Heavyweight Cotton Skull Tee uses 8.2 oz 100% carded cotton and is described as having a structured streetwear fit, which suggests a firmer drape and a less flimsy feel.
| Fit term | What it usually means | Who it suits |
|---|---|---|
| True to size | Standard room through chest and body | Shoppers who want a familiar everyday fit |
| Relaxed fit | More ease through the torso | Casual wear, layering, and looser styling |
| Structured | Fabric holds shape and drapes more cleanly | Graphic tee buyers who want a sturdier look |
| Boxy | Wider body, often shorter length | Oversized or trend-driven streetwear styling |
How fabric weight changes the fit
Fabric weight affects both comfort and silhouette. Lighter tees usually drape more and can feel softer, while medium-weight and heavyweight tees tend to hold their shape better and look more substantial under graphic prints.
Several BadApple Farms tees use 180 g/m2 cotton, including the 180G Heavy Cotton Graphic Tee, which is described as offering more structure than a lightweight novelty tee. The store also publishes a related guide, Heavyweight T Shirt vs Lightweight Tee for Graphic Cannabis Wear, which is useful if you are deciding between a softer drape and a more substantial fit.
If you want a dependable everyday unisex fit, medium-weight cotton is often the safest starting point. If you prefer a sharper streetwear profile, heavier cotton can create a cleaner line through the sleeves and torso.
When to size down, stay true to size, or size up
Stay true to size if the product is described as relaxed but not oversized, and you want a standard everyday fit. Size down only when the tee is known to run roomy or when you prefer a closer fit at the shoulders and sleeves. Size up if you plan to layer over another shirt, want more body length, or prefer an oversized cannabis streetwear look.
This matters because not all tees in a cannabis apparel catalog fit the same way. A unisex heavyweight tee may feel roomier and more structured than a lighter fitted style, even when the tagged size is identical.
- Size down: best for shoppers who want less torso room and a closer shoulder fit.
- True to size: best for a balanced, everyday unisex silhouette.
- Size up: best for oversized outfits, layering, or extra length.
Common fit mistakes to avoid
The most common mistake is buying by letter size alone without checking measurements. Another is focusing only on chest size and ignoring shirt length, which can lead to a tee that fits the torso but wears too long or too short.
It also helps to separate fit from fabric feel. A shirt can be soft but still structured, or heavyweight but still relaxed.

Best way to shop unisex cannabis T-shirts online
Read the product title, fit description, and fabric weight together. Terms like unisex, relaxed fit, heavyweight, and 180 g/m2 give more useful information than the size label by itself. Then compare those details to a T-shirt you already wear often.
If you are browsing multiple styles, start with tees that clearly describe fit and fabric. For example, products such as the Heavy Cotton Gothic Tee, 180gsm Cotton Graphic Tee, and Heavyweight Cotton Skull Tee give practical clues about structure, weight, and everyday wear.

FAQ
What size unisex T-shirt should I get?
The best size is the one that matches the measurements of a T-shirt you already like. Check chest width and body length first, then review whether the product is described as relaxed, structured, or boxy.
Is a unisex T-shirt the same as a men's T-shirt?
Not always. A unisex T-shirt is usually designed to work across a broader range of body types, often with a straight cut through the torso. Some unisex tees feel similar to standard men's sizing, but the exact fit depends on the blank and fabric.
How do I measure for a unisex T-shirt?
Lay a well-fitting T-shirt flat and measure chest width from armpit to armpit, then measure body length from the top shoulder point to the hem. Compare those numbers with the product size chart before ordering.
Should I size up for oversized cannabis streetwear fits?
Yes, if you want extra room, longer sleeves, or a looser drape for layering. If the shirt already has a relaxed or boxy cut, compare measurements first so you do not size up more than needed.
