Sizes 12 to 18 years
The youth cut covers twelve to eighteen, which in Bella+Canvas sizing is equivalent to young adult XS, S, M, and L. The pattern is straighter than the kids' cut and shorter in the torso than the adult: it acknowledges that at this age bodies change every three months and needs a fit that doesn't hang below but doesn't squeeze on top either. The short sleeve ends at mid-bicep, no decorative double stitch, with an interior reinforcement tab that keeps it from rolling up with the friction of a school backpack.
The cotton is certified organic, 180 g/m² — slightly denser than the kids' t-shirts. That difference in weight matters at this age: the garment feels real when you put it on, it has weight of its own, it doesn't stick to the torso like a fragile layer. For an age that's learning to choose how to present itself, a t-shirt with body is a t-shirt that accompanies rather than disappearing.
