By category
| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hoodies & sweatshirts | runs large | relaxed, roomy through the chest | Take your usual size for an intentionally oversized look, or one down for a normal fit. |
| Jackets | runs large | oversized workwear and tailored outerwear shapes built for layering | Take your true size if you plan to layer knitwear underneath; otherwise size down. |
| Shirts & overshirts | runs large | relaxed camp/workwear-derived cut, rarely slim | Sizing down usually gets you closer to a standard shirt fit. |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | runs large | boxy with dropped shoulders | Consider sizing down if you don't want a noticeably oversized, dropped-shoulder tee. |
| Trousers & pants | slightly large | relaxed to wide through the thigh, often high-rise | Stick to your waist size but expect a roomy leg and possible hemming. |
