Yes, the "Example T-Shirt" is true to size. It's also made of pre-shrunk cotton, so you don't have to worry about it shrinking after washing. For the best fit, check the size chart on the product page. Typically, pre-shrunk cotton minimizes the amount of shrinkage that might happen after washing. The shirt should fit pretty much the same way after washing as it did when you initially received it. We want you to love your shirt and be comfortable!
