Girav
Girav in short
Girav is a Dutch brand creating extra-long T-shirts for tall men, offering added length without extra width. You select your size based on your height, followed by your preferred width. Wash at 30 degrees and avoid tumble drying, as cotton shrinks primarily in length.

With standard sizing, garments scale in all directions as sizes increase. Girav decouples length from width, which makes all the difference—especially for men from around 1.90 metres tall.
What to look for when choosing
- Length size — determined by your height, not your chest measurement.
- Neckline — crew neck or V-neck, depending on what you wear over it.
- Fit — slim or regular, depending on your build.
- Colour — versatile neutral tones ideal for layering under shirts or knitwear.
Caring for cotton basics
Long shirts only stay long if you prevent them from shrinking.
- Wash at 30 degrees and avoid tumble drying; cotton shrinks primarily in length.
- Hang shirts to dry from the hem rather than the shoulders.
- Iron at a moderate temperature while slightly damp.
Buying in the Netherlands
Girav primarily sells direct-to-consumer online in the Netherlands. Determine your size based on your height and then choose your preferred width; that is the core of their sizing system.
