By category
| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shirts & overshirts | runs small | slim, tailored vintage cut | Size up if you want anything beyond a very fitted, close-to-body look, as Western and flannel shirts run slim and short. |
| Trousers & pants | slightly small | slim to regular | Go up a size for a relaxed fit; the cut is generally trim. |
| Jeans & denim | runs small | slim to slim-straight | Size up in the waist, and account for shrinkage on raw/shrink-to-fit models. |
| Jackets | slightly small | slim vintage workwear cut | Size up if you plan to layer flannels or knits underneath chore and military jackets. |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | runs small | slim, trim | Size up one for a comfortable, non-clingy fit. |
