RVCA was founded in 1999 by PM Tenore and Conan Hayes in Costa Mesa, California, and builds its identity on the "Balance of Opposites" chevron logo, merging surf, skate, jiu-jitsu and fine-art references. Product centers on boardshorts, Yogger and All Time shorts, graphic tees, trucker hats, fleece and workwear-leaning denim, with the Artist Network Program funding artist- and athlete-linked capsules. Authentic Brands Group now owns the label following its 2023 purchase of parent Boardriders; RVCA's US operations entered Chapter 11 liquidation in April 2025, and the brand continues through licensees and rvca.com.

How RVCA fits
| Category | Runs | Shape | Length | Size advice | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hoodies & sweatshirts | slightly large | relaxed with a generous body and dropped-ish shoulder on newer fleece | regular, sometimes a touch long in the body | Consider your true size for a roomy look or one down if you want it closer to the body. | medium |
| Shirts & overshirts | true to size | relaxed woven and flannel cuts, not tailored | regular, wearable untucked | Order your normal size; the cut is already loose enough for a tee underneath. | low |
| Trousers & pants | true to size | regular to relaxed chino and work-pant shapes | regular inseam, slight stack on straighter legs | Take your measured waist; the elastic-back and stretch styles give a little extra room. | medium |
| Jeans & denim | true to size | slim-straight (Daggers) through wider workwear-leaning fits | regular | Buy your usual waist and pick the named fit rather than adjusting size. | medium |
| Jackets | true to size | regular to relaxed, easy layering room | regular, hip-length on most coach and work jackets | Keep your normal size unless you plan to layer heavy fleece, then go up one. | low |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | true to size | straight to slightly boxy, standard skate-tee cut | regular, hits around mid-fly | Stick with your usual size; size down one if you dislike a boxy chest and wide sleeve. | medium |
