How Brixton fits
Overall fit
true to size
Most shoppers report Brixton apparel fits close to standard US sizing with a relaxed, casual cut, though heavier cotton pieces can shrink slightly and a few items feel roomier than expected.
Tip: Take your usual size for most pieces, but consider sizing up if you want a looser tee or plan to layer under a flannel or work jacket.
Medium confidence · based on 12 sources
By category
| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jeans & denim | true to size | regular to relaxed straight leg | Go with your usual waist; the leg tends to sit fuller than a slim-fit denim brand. |
| Hoodies & sweatshirts | true to size | regular, casual fit that is not oversized by streetwear standards | Stick with your usual size, or go up one for a deliberately slouchy fit. |
| Shirts & overshirts | slightly large | relaxed, roomy flannel and camp-shirt cuts through chest and shoulders | Slimmer builds often size down in the flannels, otherwise stay true to size for a layered look. |
| Trousers & pants | true to size | straight to relaxed chino and utility cuts, with some slimmer options | Order your measured waist size and check the specific fit name, as cuts range from slim to relaxed. |
| Jackets | true to size | relaxed workwear/chore silhouette with room to layer | Take your normal size since layering room is already built in; sizing up can look sloppy. |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | true to size | regular to slightly boxy standard fit | Order your normal size; size up only if you prefer a distinctly loose, boxy drape, and wash cold as heavier cotton can shrink slightly. |
