Overall fit
runs large
Jil Sander menswear is widely described as cut generously and volumetrically, with Italian sizing that wears larger than the label suggests and sleeve/body lengths built for a tall, sculptural silhouette.
Tip: Most people are happiest sizing down one, especially in knitwear, shirting and outerwear, unless you want the intended volume.

By category
| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hoodies & sweatshirts | runs large | oversized with dropped shoulders | Take one size down unless you plan to layer heavily underneath. |
| Shirts & overshirts | runs large | relaxed, roomy through the body with a soft shoulder | Sizing down one is the common recommendation, particularly if you have a slimmer frame. |
| Trousers & pants | slightly large | high-rise, straight to wide leg | Take your usual waist but expect to shorten the inseam; size down only if between sizes. |
| Jackets | runs large | broad-shouldered, architectural tailoring with generous room through the chest | Try one size below your usual IT tailoring size, then have the sleeves adjusted. |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | runs large | boxy to relaxed, wide through the chest | Size down if you want a normal fit; keep your size for the intended boxy drape. |
