A Stanley/Stella Creator 2.0 in size M measures 21 in across the chest laid flat (about 42 in around) and 29 1/4 in long. The Rocker is within 1/4 in of it at every size, and the relaxed-fit Sparker 2.0 is about 3/4 in wider across the chest. Stanley/Stella publishes these measurements for every size.

Does Stanley/Stella run small?
Stanley/Stella's product data does not describe its tees as running small or large. It publishes garment measurements instead. The Creator 2.0 is a medium fit with a 21 in half chest in M, about 53 cm. The fair test is to lay a shirt you like flat, measure armpit to armpit, and match that number on the chart.
Double the half chest for the full chest. On the Creator 2.0 the half chest grows 3/4 in per size at the small end and 1 1/2 to 2 in per size from S upward, so the step between sizes gets bigger as you go up the run.
How do the Creator 2.0, Rocker and Sparker 2.0 compare?
All three are unisex tees in 100% organic cotton. The Creator 2.0 and Rocker are medium fit, and the Sparker 2.0 is a heavier relaxed fit. They differ more in fabric than in cut: the Rocker is the lightest and tubular, the Sparker the heaviest and loosest knit.

What does relaxed fit mean in numbers?
On these charts, relaxed fit means a little more room, not a size up. In M, the Sparker 2.0 is 1 1/2 in more around the chest than the Creator 2.0 (21 3/4 in against 21 in, laid flat). A full size step on the Creator 2.0 from M to L is 1 3/4 in laid flat, so the Sparker sits between the two.
Is the Rocker the same fit as the Creator 2.0?
Almost. Its body is within 1/4 in of the Creator 2.0 at every size, and it is a lighter 4.4 oz tee with tubular construction. Its sleeves are shorter: in M, Stanley/Stella lists 8 1/4 in against 9 1/2 in on the Creator 2.0.
How does Creator 2.0 sizing compare with Bella+Canvas 3001 and Comfort Colors 1717?
We do not have published measurements for the 3001 or 1717 in our supplier data, so we compare fit names and size ranges only. The 3001 is a retail fit in XS to 5XL, and the 1717 a relaxed fit in S to 4XL. Check each brand's chart before you swap one for another.
| Shirt | Fit, as listed | Sizes | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stanley/Stella Creator 2.0 | Medium fit, unisex | XXS to 5XL | 5.3 oz/yd² |
| Stanley/Stella Sparker 2.0 | Relaxed fit, unisex | XXS to 3XL | 6.3 oz/yd² |
| Bella+Canvas 3001 | Retail fit, unisex sizing | XS to 5XL | 4.2 oz/yd² |
| Comfort Colors 1717 | Relaxed fit | S to 4XL | 6.1 oz/yd² |
Stanley/Stella specs are from the Stanley/Stella product API. Bella+Canvas 3001 and Comfort Colors 1717 specs are from the S&S Activewear catalog description.
A few practical points:
- Coming from a 3001? Our earlier comparison found the 3001 sits a little closer to the body, so measure a 3001 you own and compare it with the Creator 2.0 chart. Our Creator 2.0 vs Bella+Canvas 3001 guide covers fabric and print.
- Coming from a 1717? Both the 1717 and the Sparker 2.0 are sold as relaxed fits and are heavier tees. The S&S description says the 1717 is garment dyed with minimal shrinkage, and Stanley/Stella lists the Sparker 2.0 as pre-shrunk. See Creator 2.0 vs Comfort Colors 1717.
How do you choose sizes for a group order?
Measure, do not guess. Lay one shirt that fits well flat, measure armpit to armpit and the body length, then match both numbers to the chart. For a team or staff order, a quick sizing poll of the group beats rounding every size up.
- Mix sizes freely. All sizes of one design count toward the same minimum, which is 36 pieces for screen printing.
- Watch the top end. The Sparker 2.0 stops at 3XL, while the Creator 2.0 and Rocker run to 5XL.
- Care keeps the fit. Stanley/Stella's care data for all three: wash cold at 86°F, do not bleach, tumble dry low.
Our take
As an official Stanley/Stella dealer, we like that the brand publishes a full chart for every style, so sizing becomes a measuring job rather than a guess. For most premium tee orders the Creator 2.0 is our starting point, with an XXS to 5XL size run and 52 colors. When a group wants a lighter tee with the same body, we point to the Rocker, and for a roomier, heavier feel, the Sparker 2.0. See every style on our Stanley/Stella hub or on Stanley/Stella's Creator 2.0 page.

Frequently asked questions
Does Stanley/Stella run small?
Stanley/Stella's product data does not describe its tees as running small. The Creator 2.0 is a medium fit, and size M measures 21 in across the chest laid flat, about 42 in around. Compare that with a shirt you already wear.

Is Creator 2.0 sizing the same as Bella+Canvas 3001?
Not necessarily. The Creator 2.0 is listed as a medium fit and the 3001 as a retail fit. We do not have 3001 measurements in our supplier data, so check the Bella+Canvas chart against the Creator 2.0 chart.
