By category
| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hoodies & sweatshirts | slightly large | relaxed, heavy-bodied with dropped shoulders | Order true to size for a comfortable oversized fit; only size up if you layer heavily or want a very long silhouette. |
| Jackets | slightly large | boxy work-jacket and coach-jacket cuts with room for layering | Take your usual size for layering room, or size down if you want the jacket to sit close over a tee. |
| Shirts & overshirts | slightly large | camp-collar and work shirts cut boxy and straight through the body | Take your normal size, or size down if you want the shirt to sit closer rather than tent out. |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | slightly large | boxy with wide shoulders and a full chest | Stick with your usual size for the intended boxy drape; size down if you prefer a trimmer tee. |
| Trousers & pants | true to size | straight to relaxed, workwear-influenced | Order your measured waist size and expect a roomy leg; hemming may be needed if you are under average height. |
