Pima Prima® Size Guide
Finding the perfect fit is key to feeling comfortable and confident in your Pima Prima® T-shirt.
Below are the essential measurements for each model to help you choose the right size.
Key Measurements Explained:
Bust/Chest
Measured across the fullest part of the chest (for women) or chest width (for men)
Waist/Hips
Measured at the narrowest point of the waist or fullest part of the hips (for women)
Length
Measured from the highest shoulder point to the bottom hem of the T-shirt
Our Models:
Model 1 – Women’s Fitted Designed for a flattering, feminine shape with a slightly curved waist. Perfect on its own or layered under a jacket.
Model 3 – Classic Men’s - fit a Women. A timeless straight-cut fit with balanced proportions, suitable for all body types.
Model 4 – Men’s Wide Shoulders Fit Created for broader chests and slimmer waists — this athletic cut tapers naturally for a clean, modern silhouette.
Note:
Models 3 and 4, designed with a relaxed and growth fit, can also perfectly suit petite women looking for an oversized, comfortable style. Just be sure to check the measurements carefully to find the best fit for you.
Fit with Confidence – And Consciousness At Pima Prima® we want you to feel great in your T-shirt. That’s why we offer returns if you're not fully satisfied with your size. But we’re also here to address a bigger issue: the environmental impact of returns and long-distance logistics.
Every return shipped across borders contributes to unnecessary carbon emissions and packaging waste. Our goal is to reduce this burden by helping you choose the right size the first time — through clear measurements, detailed guidance and personalized support.
The problem we’re solving: Traditional fashion returns create up to 15 million metric tons of CO₂ emissions annually and generate tons of landfill waste. We're working to minimize that footprint — not by eliminating returns, but by making them smarter, fewer, and more sustainable.
Wait! Don’t Go Yet! 👋
Don’t leave these cozy Pima Cotton outfits behind! 😊 Take another look, maybe you missed something?
Heavy weight vs Medium weight vs Light weight ELS Pima Cotton. All you need to know.
Ever wondered why some Pima cotton t-shirts feel thick and structured while others are soft and stretchy? The secret lies in textile techniques—specifically, the difference between Gamusa and Jersey weaves. Understanding these differences is essential if you care about fabric quality, sustainability and how your clothes perform over time. At Pima Prima, we use these techniques to create premium ELS Pima cotton t-shirts that last longer, feel luxurious and support ethical and sustainable fashion practices.
Gamusa: The Double-Faced Weave (Heavy Weight)
Gamusa is woven using a tight and structured pattern, making it identical on both sides. This creates a thicker, smoother and more durable fabric ideal for winter t-shirts and structured garments.
Feels like: Cashmere-like softness with a dense and warm texture
Best for: Winter Pima cotton t-shirts, sweaters and layering pieces
Why you’ll love it:
Durability – Holds shape over time and resists stretching
Warmth – Keeps you comfortable in cooler weather
Reversible – Looks the same on both sides making it versatile
How it’s made:
Tightly woven with denser yarns for a solid structure
Fabric undergoes a softening treatment to enhance its luxurious feel
The result is a double-faced Pima cotton fabric that lasts longer and keeps you cozy
For more about Gamusa weaving techniques, visit TextileSchool on Double-Faced Weaves.
Jersey: The Single-Face Knit (Medium and Light Weight)
Jersey is knitted rather than woven making it soft, stretchy and breathable. Unlike Gamusa, it has a smooth front and a looped back which affects its texture and drape.
Feels like: Lightweight, airy and flexible
Best for: Everyday Pima cotton t-shirts, dresses and activewear
Why you’ll love it:
Breathability – Keeps you cool in warm weather
Stretch and Comfort – Moves with your body for a relaxed fit
Soft Draping – Flows naturally making it ideal for casual wear
How it’s made:
Yarn is looped together in a single-face knit creating a soft texture
The looser structure gives flexibility and natural stretch
The result is a one-sided Pima cotton fabric that feels smooth on the front and slightly textured on the back
Extra-Long Staple (ELS) Pima cotton is renowned for its softness, durability and resistance to pilling. Pima Prima combines ELS Pima cotton with Gamusa and Jersey techniques to create premium Pima cotton t-shirts that are sustainable, comfortable and long-lasting.
Key benefits of Pima Prima ELS Pima cotton t-shirts:
Luxurious softness and premium feel
Excellent breathability for all-day comfort
Long-lasting structure that withstands repeated washes
Sustainable fashion crafted with ethical practices
Gamusa vs Jersey: Choosing Your Perfect Pima Cotton T-Shirt
Heavy Weight (Gamusa): Ideal for cooler weather and structured layering pieces, keeps your warm.
Medium Weight (Jersey): Comfortable for everyday wear and night wear with a balance of softness and durability, adjust to your body’s temperature.
Light Weight (Jersey): Perfect for casual summer t-shirts and breathable garments, keeps your skin fresh.
No matter the weight, Pima Prima t-shirts are crafted to provide the ultimate combination of comfort, luxury and sustainability using ELS Pima cotton.
Lightweight vs Mediumweight vs Heavyweight ELS Pima Cotton: Choosing the Right Fabric for Your Needs
Understanding the distinctions between fabric weights is crucial when selecting the perfect Pima cotton garment. The weight of the fabric influences its feel, durability and suitability for various occasions. Here’s a breakdown:
Lightweight ELS Pima Cotton
Characteristics: Soft, breathable and ideal for warmer climates. Lightweight fabrics are known for their airy feel and comfort
Best For: Summer t-shirts, casual wear and layering pieces
Benefits: Offers excellent breathability and comfort making it suitable for hot weather and active wear

Best For: Everyday wear, night wear, casual t-shirts and versatile layering
Benefits: Offers a balance between warmth and breathability making it suitable for transitional weather
Heavyweight ELS Pima Cotton
