Size Guide

All measurements are in inches, taken flat on the garment. Lay a piece you already own flat and compare — that is more reliable than measuring yourself against a garment chart. Flat measurements may vary by up to 1¼″ (3 cm).

The fit note on each product page tells you which way to go if you land between sizes.

A note on size labels

Most pieces run S–XL or S–2XL. Three styles carry numeric labels (4, 6, 8, 10, 12); those map in order to S, M, L, XL and 2XL. The Color Block Performance Tee runs 2XS–XL and the Inverse Straight Sweat runs XS–L. Where a label and a measurement disagree, go by the measurement.

Numeric labels — 4, 6, 8 and 10 are roughly S, M, L and XL.
