HOW TO MEASURE
Field measurement procedure, as recorded in the Campstead ledger. Two measurements. No tape measure heroics.
HOW TO MEASURE
Fig. 1 — laid flat, wrinkles permitted.
Chest width. Measure across — not around — the chest, one inch below the armhole, with the shirt laid flat. Around is a different number and a different argument.
Length. Measure from the highest point of the shoulder straight down to the bottom hem. Gravity assists.
| Size | Chest width | Length |
|---|---|---|
| S | 18" | 28" |
| M | 20" | 29" |
| L | 22" | 30" |
| XL | 24" | 31" |
| 2XL | 26" | 32" |
| 3XL | 28" | 33" |
All figures in inches. Logged in the ledger. Disputes settled over coffee.
ABOUT THE COMPANY
FOUNDING OBSERVATION
Campstead Supply Co. was founded on a simple observation. The outdoors comes with a lot of expectations, and most of them are optional. So we set our standards where they belong. The coffee should be strong. Everything else can be worked out at the campsite.
We exist to take the pressure out of the outdoors, so everyday people feel outfitted and welcome out there, coffee in hand, no experience required. If your tent went up in the dark, that counts. If the fire took three tries, that counts. If your basecamp is currently the kitchen, that counts too.
We supply t-shirts, and only t-shirts. Each one is designed like an official label, notice, field manual page, or inventory tag, because a proper supply company keeps records, and so do we. No mascots. No cartoons. No motivational speeches. Just gear, type, and the honest paperwork of trips that mostly went fine.
STRONG COFFEE. LOW EXPECTATIONS. OFFICIALLY.
STANDARD ISSUE GIFTS
