How To: The Perfect Cutoff Shirt in 5 Minutes or Less! 

Tutorial starts at 2:37

Pro tip: When trying to line your seams up, pinch underneath each armpit where all of the seams meet, and shake the shirt. It will line all your seams up before you cut

I’ve been guilty of cutting them too deep and showing off too much nip 😂 this video was very needed with the Texas summer starting to heat up.. thanks Zach!

I’ve been cutting off shirts for more than 10 years and didn’t know I needed this tutorial

I feel so stupid for never thinking to use the first sleeve as a stencil for the other. Def would’ve not ruined 5 shirts that way

Cut accuracy was good, I’d recommend cutting the shirt inside out to get the sides to roll inwards, then after the cut throw it in the dryer briefly

Dude this was the perfect demo!!! Your content is money!!! I still want your caffeine and kilos shirt though.

This is one of the best tutorials on RU-vid for anything. All around. I'm blown away. Honestly.

Using the sleeve you cut on the opposite of the shirt as a guide is the game changer. Seen a lot of videos that just eye ball it. I wanted that consistency in the cut. Will definitely give this a try. Thanks for the post.

Made this today and it has the perfect proportions (even for a female), great video!

2:30 is where the tutorial starts

I just finished making my cuts. I followed most of your instructions (instead of measuring your way for the arm holes or using the first cut off sleeve as a template for the second, instead as a template I used a top I already have and fits perfect). I did follow the tip of another commenter who recommended turning the shirt inside out before cutting. Thar worked great. In the end the cut is ideal. The fit isn't as flattering as it could be bit also I haven't tossed it into the wash/dryer yet but maybe after that it'll be perfect. One thing I already notice (and something no one else has mentioned yet) is I see I'll definitely need to add a small stitch to the bottom of each arm hole to keep the existing but now cut original seam from unwravelling. Overall this was a kickass tutorial. Thank you!

This video just helped me out big time! I've been doing it wrong for so long

You're brave. I fold my shirts when I cut so the sleeves I cut are exactly the same, and I only cut once

This worked absolutely perfect! Thanks

I really like that you mix up the content. Nice summer video 🥰

Found your channel today! Following and excited for the vids!

this is the video i never knew i needed

Now I can truly live my "sun's out guns out" dream haha! Great video as always!

Love that Freudian slip at the beginning. Thanks for the info!

i followed this video to cut up one of my favorite band shirts. came out great big ups dude

Thanks bro! Simple, clear and concise instructions because I'm a derp. My gym rat kid approved 💯

Thanks for the tips man, I’m guilty of just winging it and having mixed results.

Nope. Mine will be slutty. Also don’t get scissors from Home Depot for cutting fabric. Take yourself to a fabric store and get fabric scissors 😂 but don’t cut anything but fabric with them! You’ll ruin them!

I’ve been cutting my tees for years man, soo long ago that back when we use to cut em we would cut them super low and there would be a lot of nip slips cause that was the style. We were trying to show off as much of our teenage tatted body as we could haha. But anyway since those days I’ve cut some perfect muscle tees but with this little finger trick for measuring and setting something heavy on one side while cutting, well now I know I can cut em perfect every time 🤙🙌🔥 Thanks for the video brother, I’m about to cut so many old favorite tees confidently knowing they gone be perfect every time!

Dude the fact that it took you over 2 1/2 to explain cutting a shirt before you even started is astounding

This actually helped a lot thanks man

Awesome! I always wondered how guys got that perfect cut over the shoulders. Mine came out really good. The only thing, is that my scissors were a little dull, so I put a cutting board inside of the shirt, and used a razor blade to shave off the jagged edges. So happy with the results, thankyou for the tutorial!

Hats off bro simple and easy to understand, works

Awesome. Thank you- just what I was trying to figure out.

Very helpful man Especially since it is getting to summer down here in Miami.♥️💪👌

Awesome video homie! Loved the simplicity of the video.

Thanks a lot for the tips man. God bless you!

Perfect for summer 👍

This turned out so cool!!! Thank youuu

I just take the stitches apart it takes long but comes out perfectly easy to do with an x-acto knife

Worked like a charm 👌🏻

Thanks Zach. Made some pretty sick ones to where to school.

Great video man 👍🏻 really helpful

The template was a great idea.

Does this work for synthetic T- shirts the same as that cotton one?

This is how meatheads express their creativity.

Thank you brother

Haha I just graduated from amateur to professional from this video :). THANIS!!!!

this was so easy to understand - thanks bro. omw to turn 25 shirts into cutoffs

Clutch vid thanks man!!

crazy idea, fold the shirt in half and cut both sides at the same time - genius!

Wish I had found this before the destruction of 3 shirts sent me searching .. Nonetheless thank you , very informative and easy to understand .. Great vid

Thanks for this. Got a bunch of old ts that I don't use anymore and I don't want to spend money on gym clothes. Win win.

👍 great instructional video

Very helpful bro thanks

Great tutorial

I use a $10 rotary cutter and that sumbitch goes through multiple layers of any fabric like butter. Worth the investment if you're altering on the regular! (also makes quick work of packing tape and those god-awful blister packs)

Thanks man

Beast, just made the perfect cutoff

Thank you!

Nice one bro 👌🏾

Most useful video ever

Thanks!

Thanks bro!

thanks!

Thank you much and God bless you.

Thanks brahh 💪

🤣🤣🤣 I may have cut my first one a little too low but that's ok. I will be wearing a sports bra and it was a shirt I would not have worn otherwise but now I will. Thanks! 😊

what if you have a rotary blade instead of scissors? i've watched multiple tutorials and yes i've used a lot of old t-shirts that dont fit me anymore but they've all came out wrong.

What is your shirt don’t have seems on the side?

So for a wedding should you leave a little more width for extra protection from nipslips?

Great video

Thank you

Hi man can you please make a video about how to calculate macros to maintain , loose and gain weight . Thanks !!

I like that shirt but I couldn’t find it on the caffeine and kilos website. Is it still sold anywhere?

Ik this vid is 2 years old but u just helped me make the best cut of I own

I lost a lot of weight and have like 50 shirts that are too big for me now. Will this make bigger shirts look better on me?

Amazing bro

Never can't make perfect cutoff always comes out sloppy

Can you buy these anywhere

Now how do I cut the perfect denim shorts? 🤔

Luv the background music!! Whatz the title ?

where do we get his cutoff from

Make macro friendly ice cream pls

Im confused about the first part maybe its the shirt that im using but idk how you lined it up like that

What if it doesn’t have a seem that goes all the way down the side?

I love that shirt

Where can I get a caffeine & kilos shirt please!😻

How do you fix a side that seems to stick out? Everything is perfect besides one side, on my ribs, the shirt protrudes and flops under my arm. Driving me insane

I can never get whatever's on the shirt to be centered no matter what I do. Always botch that, somehow, even if measure and mark my top and bottom cuts!

I used to cut the ringer too... I didn't use this technique so some of mine were uneven AF..

If you're doing this a lot, line up the shirt, flatten it like described, but get a cutting mat and a fabric cutting wheel. One continuous cut, no jagged edges.

I RUINED A BUNCH BRO. THANKS FOR THE TUTORIAL

How do you know how low you go on armpit? Anyone know? Or does he recommend the inches himself?

Nice

$60 shirt let's do this! Great tutorial though mate!

Why do mine always flow out at the bottom of the cut? I hate it.
