Minimalist Crewneck: Check the 2 cm Chest Size Steps

Use the M–2XL chest, shoulder and length chart with its stated 1–3 cm measurement variation when comparing a crewneck you own.

The minimalist crewneck pullover comes in White, Black and Green, with M through 2XL sizes. The current gallery shows a plain round neck and long sleeves, but the chart’s most consequential detail is numerical: chest rises only 2 cm per size, while the listing allows roughly 1–3 cm of manual measuring variation. That does not make the chart useless. It means a shopper should compare a known garment carefully and avoid treating a 2 cm step as a guaranteed amount of extra layer room.

Put the increments beside the tolerance

The listed chest values are 104, 106, 108 and 110 cm from M to 2XL. Shoulder is 44, 46, 48 and 50 cm; total length is 65, 67, 69 and 71 cm. All three columns rise by 2 cm per row. The source says measurements were taken flat and can vary about 1–3 cm, but does not explain whether the chest column represents doubled flat width or another convention. Ask for that convention before comparing the number with your body circumference. The material line lists 60% polyester, 37% cotton and 3% spandex; those percentages do not establish how much this particular garment stretches in wear.

Work through a reference garment

Suppose a crewneck you own measures 105 cm around the chest by your chosen method and feels right over a thin shirt. That hypothetical value sits between the listed M and L chest numbers. It does not prove L is the better choice: the source’s stated 1–3 cm manual variation can be as large as the 2 cm step between adjacent rows, and the chart’s chest method is unclear. Measure the reference pullover flat across the chest, double that width only if MAXCT confirms its chart uses the same method, and record its shoulder and total length too. Compare all three dimensions rather than making a size decision from a single midpoint.

Now decide how you would wear it. If the shirt will stay under the crewneck, repeat the comparison while wearing that shirt and check whether your reference garment still leaves room at the shoulder and sleeve. If you plan to wear the pullover alone, the extra layer is irrelevant, and hem length may decide between two otherwise close rows. The page does not list sleeve or cuff dimensions, so ask for those if arm movement or a jacket over the sleeves is important. The model’s stated height, weight and try-on size describe one presentation, not a fit rule for another person.

Choose the color after the fit question

The White, Black and Green options are selectable, and the gallery shows those colors. A light or dark version may change what you want visible in an outfit, but color does not resolve a chest measurement that sits between rows. Ask for the flat chest method and exact garment measurements for the size under consideration, then use the 2 cm progression and the documented tolerance as context. This order turns a sparse size chart into a useful question for the seller without pretending it can guarantee fit.
