Find Your Fit: Portside Drift Size Charts & Measuring Guide
A comfortable cruise outfit starts with the right fit. Whether you’re choosing a tee for embarkation day, a tank for exploring port or matching shirts for your crew, a few quick measurements can make ordering easier.
Below, you’ll find size charts for our different clothing styles and simple instructions for measuring.
All chart measurements are in inches and refer to the garment—not your body. Check the product description to confirm the style you’re ordering. Available sizes can vary by product and color.
How to measure
Start with a similar garment you already own that fits comfortably. Lay it flat, smooth out any wrinkles and avoid stretching the fabric.
Chest width: Measure straight across the garment from side to side just below the armholes. This is the flat width, not the measurement around your chest.
Body length: Measure from the highest point of the shoulder beside the neckline down to the bottom hem. For a tank, start at the top of the shoulder strap.
Compare your measurements: Find the closest width and length in the appropriate chart below. Use a favorite tee to compare with tees, a tank with tanks and a polo with polos.
Adult Cruise Tees
Comfort Colors 1717
A relaxed, unisex tee for laid-back cruise days.
| Size | Chest width | Body length |
|---|---|---|
| S | 18.25 | 26.62 |
| M | 20.25 | 28.00 |
| L | 22.00 | 29.37 |
| XL | 24.00 | 30.75 |
| 2XL | 26.00 | 31.62 |
| 3XL | 27.75 | 32.50 |
| 4XL | 29.75 | 33.50 |
Fit tip: Compare with your favorite relaxed tee. For a roomier look, check the next size up, including the added length.
Manufacturing tolerance: ±1.5 inches.
Women’s Racerback Tanks
Next Level 1533
Use a tank you already love as your measuring reference—the shape and proportions differ from a unisex tee.
| Size | Chest width | Body length |
|---|---|---|
| XS | 14.0 | 27.0 |
| S | 15.0 | 27.5 |
| M | 16.0 | 28.0 |
| L | 17.0 | 28.5 |
| XL | 18.0 | 29.0 |
| 2XL | 19.0 | 29.5 |
Fit tip: Measure your reference tank without stretching it. Don’t assume your adult tee size will provide the same fit in this style.
Manufacturing tolerance: ±1.5 inches.
Youth Cruise Tees
Comfort Colors 9018
For the younger members of your cruise crew.
| Size | Chest width | Body length |
|---|---|---|
| XS | 13.5 | 18.5 |
| S | 14.5 | 20.5 |
| M | 16.5 | 21.5 |
| L | 17.5 | 22.5 |
| XL | 19.5 | 26.0 |
Fit tip: Compare with a tee that fits your child now. Youth size labels are not ages, so measurements are more useful than choosing by age alone.
Manufacturing tolerance: ±1.5 inches.
Toddler Cruise Tees
Bella+Canvas 3001T
For little cruisers with big vacation plans.
| Size | Chest width | Body length |
|---|---|---|
| 2T | 12.0 | 15.5 |

| 4T | 14.0 | 17.5 |
| 5T | 15.0 | 18.5 |
Fit tip: Measure a current toddler tee and compare both width and length. If your trip is several months away, consider how much growing room you want.
Manufacturing tolerance: ±1.5 inches.
Men’s Stretch Jersey Polos
Mercer+Mettle MM1014
For a polished cruise look, from exploring port to dinner onboard.
| Size | Chest width | Body length |
|---|---|---|

| M | 20.8 | 28.5 |

| 2XL | 26.3 | 31.5 |
| 3XL | 28.8 | 32.3 |
| 4XL | 31.8 | 33.0 |
Fit tip: Compare with a polo that already fits well. Lay it flat and measure without stretching the material.
Manufacturing tolerance: ±1 inch.
Between sizes?
Your preferred fit matters as much as the size label.
-
For a familiar fit: Choose the measurements closest to a garment you already enjoy wearing.
-
For extra room: Compare the next size up and check both width and length.
-
For a closer fit: Check the smaller size’s measurements carefully before choosing.
-
For matching outfits: Let each person choose their size using the chart for their specific garment.
A Medium tee, Medium tank and Medium polo have different measurements. Always use the chart that matches your selected style.
A quick note about measurements
Garments can vary slightly during manufacturing. The tolerances listed above describe possible differences from the chart measurements; they aren’t extra room you should add when choosing your size.
For any style not included here, use the size guide on that product’s page.
