The Mad Gringo Go Slow Shirt and Sarong Sizing Chart

Find Your Measurements

The Mad Gringo says taking your measurements is easy with a measuring tape and a willing subject. Make sure that the tape lays flat, and that the area you're measuring is in natural position. Kids, if you are measuring dad for a gift, try to catch him while he's sleeping through the early rounds of the PGA.
Two places to measure:

  • Chest: With your arms at your sides, measure around the fullest part of your chest, across shoulder blades and under arms. If your fullest part is below your chest, measure that. Mad Gringo knows.
  • Neck: Measure a shirt collar that fits you loosely. Button the collar and place the tape's starting point behind the button. Wrap the tape all the way around the inside of the collar until it meets its starting point. Why? I know you won't button this shirt up to the top, but I needed two bullet points.

Shirt Sizing Chart

The Mad Gringo will use this as a general guide for finding the right size shirt for you.

SizeNeck (inches)Chest/Gut (inches)
S13.5-1431-33
M14.5-1535-37
L15.5-1639-41
XL16.5-1743-45
2XL17.5-1847-49
3XL*18.5-1951-53
4XL*19.5-2055-57

The Mad Gringo 2007 shirts run true to size so if you are looking for a really loose or baggy fit, order one size up. If you get it wrong, know that Mad Gringo makes it easy to get the correct size. I'll take care of you.

* Note to 3X and 4X wearers: The current crop of Mad Gringo shirts are not Big or Tall. 3X/4X "Big" shirts are cut fuller across the middle and 3X/4X "Tall" have added length. Mad Gringo Hawaiian Shirts are not available 3X Big or Tall or 4X Big or Tall at this time.

Sarongs/Pareos

Mad Gringo has two sizes of sarongs/pareos.

Full: 63" by 45" (perfect for anyone smaller than a Buick)
Mini: 63" by 21" (again, unless your waist is longer than you are tall, this should be a great skirt wrap or shoulder wrap)

I hope that helps. I don't know what else to add other than the measurements don't include the fringe.

Shrinkage

The Mad Gringo isn't referring to Seinfeld. Poor George. No, I'm referring to how your shirt may or may not get smaller after a tussle with the dryer. Most of our shirts are 100% Rayon. Pre-washed to take most of the shrinkage out. We've tried to think of everything to make this a true Go Slow wash and wear Hawaiian/Aloha/Tropical Shirt.

Wash when dirty, Dry when wet.

You can do it. And if you're not happy, give us a call. We'll try to make it right.

We all have a Mad Gringo deep down inside.

He's pissed about the traffic. The stress. The ties you have to wear. He's telling you to chuck it all and go sleep on a beach in Mexico. Or Brazil. Make a compromise. Refuse to be a corporate robot. Wear a tropical shirt now and then. Vow to watch more sunsets. And if you can't go slow, at least go slower. Whatever you do, don't ignore your Mad Gringo. He just might do something crazy.
