Start with the fabric, not the size chart

The Kappa Sig Gray Flag Long Sleeve Pocket Tee is made from 100% ring spun cotton and is pre-shrunk. That combination matters more than a generic size chart when you plan to layer it. Ring spun cotton feels soft and smooth against the skin, and because the tee is pre-shrunk, you can expect less surprise shrinkage after the first wash than with an untreated cotton tee. Still, pre-shrunk does not mean shrink-proof, so treat the first wash as a checkpoint rather than a guarantee.

What the catalog confirms

  • Kappa Sig Gray Flag Long Sleeve Pocket Tee: 100% ring spun cotton, pre-shrunk. Soft hand feel and reduced (not eliminated) shrinkage risk make this a reliable base layer.

    Kappa Sig Gray Flag Long Sleeve Pocket Tee

  • Kappa Sig Gray Flag Long Sleeve Pocket Tee: Dark gray Comfort Colors long sleeve pocket tee with Kappa Sigma fraternity flag and Greek letters. The dark gray base hides wrinkles and light wear, so it works as a visible layer or under a hoodie.

  • Kappa Sig Gray Flag Long Sleeve Pocket Tee: Available in sizes S, M, L, XL, and XXL. The size range covers most adults, but the layering decision still depends on how you plan to wear it.

Choose your size for the layer you'll actually wear

Ask yourself one question before picking a size: will this tee be the outermost layer, or will it sit under a hoodie or jacket? If you wear it alone, choose the size that gives you a clean shoulder line and enough length to stay tucked if you prefer. If you plan to layer it under a hoodie, the tee should sit close to the body without binding at the chest or armpits. A loose tee bunches under a hoodie; a tight one restricts movement. The sweet spot is a tee that follows your torso but still lets you raise your arms without the hem riding up.

Because the tee is pre-shrunk, you can generally size based on the fit you want out of the bag. If you are between sizes and plan to layer, consider the smaller size for a closer fit; if you want a relaxed standalone look, consider the larger size. The catalog does not provide a garment measurement chart, so use your own body measurements and the fit you prefer as your guide rather than guessing from the size label alone.

Layer the pocket tee under a hoodie in four checkpoints

Use these checkpoints to test the layering before you commit to a full day of wear.

  1. 1. Check the shoulder and sleeve length: Put the tee on first. The shoulder seam should sit near the edge of your shoulder, not hang past it. Long sleeves should reach your wrist bone without bunching at the cuff when you bend your arm. If the sleeves are too long, they will bunch inside a hoodie sleeve.
  2. 2. Add the hoodie and test range of motion: Pull the hoodie on over the tee. Raise your arms overhead and reach forward. The tee should not pull tight across the chest or ride up above your waistband. If it does, the tee is too small for layering.
  3. 3. Check the pocket and graphic placement: The pocket tee has a chest pocket and the Kappa Sigma flag and Greek letters. Under a hoodie, the pocket can add slight bulk. Make sure the hoodie does not press the pocket flat in a way that feels uncomfortable. The graphic should sit below the hoodie neckline so it is not half-hidden.
  4. 4. Sit, drive, and move: Sit down, bend your elbows, and twist your torso. The tee should stay smooth under the hoodie without twisting or bunching at the sides. If you feel seams digging in, size up or choose a thinner hoodie.

When to wear it alone instead

The same tee works as a standalone piece when you want a casual fraternity look without extra bulk.

  • Mild weather: Ring spun cotton is breathable, so the tee is comfortable on its own when temperatures are cool but not cold.
  • Visible Greek letters: Worn alone, the flag and Greek letters are fully visible, which is the point of a fraternity tee.
  • Lighter layering: If a hoodie feels too heavy, pair the tee with an open flannel or a light vest instead. The same fit checkpoints apply.

Care that protects the fit you chose

The supplied product information does not include specific washing instructions, so follow the care label on the garment when it arrives. As a general practice, wash the tee inside out with like colors and avoid high heat if you want to preserve the pre-shrunk fit. Because the tee is 100% cotton, it can shrink slightly with repeated high-heat drying even if it was pre-shrunk. Air drying or low heat is the safer choice for keeping the length and sleeve length consistent.
