Check out some of the most commonly asked questions below, and be sure to contact us with any other questions.

How do Glory Days Apparel's rad shirts fit?

Glory Days Apparel uses the finest quality threads for our shirts.  We usually use two different fits... Our most commonly used is a more modern tailored fit.  The arms and chest will be more fitted.  The second style we use is Comfort Colors(TM), which is a more classic fit.  It will be looser in the body and the sleeve than our more tailored fit.  

*Most of our tie dye shirts run small.  We strongly encourage ordering a size up.*

Classic Fit (Comfort Colors(TM)) Sizing:
Our 100% pre-shrunk cotton Comfort Colors(TM) style is a looser, more traditional fit.  Fits true to size but comfortably loose.  Size chart:

      In-Store Cropping:

      We are now offering in-store cropping on purchased Glory Days Apparel t-shirts.  Now, you can custom fit any of our t-shirts to fit you the way you want!

      How it works:

      • We will crop any purchased Glory Days Apparel t-shirt for free.
      • If you’re wanting us to crop a new Glory Days Apparel shirt, you must purchase the shirt before we begin the process.
      • Any shirt brought it that isn’t a Glory Days Apparel t-shirt we will charge $5 per shirt to do custom cutting.  
      • Customer must be present for the process to ensure proper cutting measurements.  Cropping is done at our South End Charlotte store.
      • ONLY trained Glory Days Apparel staff are permitted to use the cropping machine and cut shirts. 
      • We base the length of measurement on our popular crop tee.  Small is 17 inches down from the lowest point of the neckline, 18 inches for a Schmedium, and 19 inches for Large.
      • Unless stated otherwise, we usually recommend adding a 1/2 inch to allow for rolling since it’s a raw hem.  
      • We can cut any desired length, but the above measurements are a base guideline
      • Our staff is extensively trained in this procedure and we consult your preference throughout the cutting process, but all sales are final on cut t-shirts.  Accuracy and precision is our intention, but the consumer assumes the risk when having us cut their shirt.  No refunds or exchanges on cut shirts.
