By category
| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hoodies & sweatshirts | slightly large | relaxed, straight-hanging body with roomy sleeves | Take your usual size for a relaxed drape, or size down if you want it closer to the body. |
| Jackets | true to size | regular to relaxed with room for a knit underneath | Stay true to size; there's usually enough room for a mid-layer without going up. |
| Jeans & denim | true to size | ranges from slim tapered to straight and loose by model name | Take your measured waist size and check the specific model, as fits vary a lot across the denim range. |
| Shirts & overshirts | slightly small | leaner European cut in classic poplin styles, though camp-collar and printed shirts are noticeably roomier | Size up in the slim classic shirts if you're broad or between sizes; stay true to size in the relaxed camp-collar styles. |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | true to size | boxy to relaxed, with dropped or wide shoulders on many styles | Stick with your normal size; size down only if you dislike a boxy, wide-shouldered look. |
| Trousers & pants | true to size | clean tailored to relaxed wide-leg depending on model | Order your normal waist and expect to hem the longer, wide-leg styles. |
