How rag & bone fits

Overall fit

slightly small

Most shoppers find rag & bone runs close to label size but cut narrow, so athletic or broader builds often end up one size up while slimmer builds stay true to size.

Tip: Take your usual size if you're slim-built, but size up in tops, shirts and outerwear if you're broader or plan to layer.
