What to know about Stüssy
A surfboard signature became the logo
Shawn Stussy scrawled his name on boards in 1980s Laguna Beach; that handwriting, plus the 8-Ball and Stock logo, still drives the graphics.
Founder left, family kept it going
Shawn Stussy departed in the mid-1990s and the Sinatra family has owned and run the label from Irvine, California ever since.
Graphics first, workwear shapes around them
The catalogue is built on tees and hoodies, extended by workwear-leaning jackets, relaxed trousers and headwear at mid-range prices.

How Stüssy fits
Overall fit
slightly large
Most shoppers report Stüssy pieces fitting fuller and boxier than mainstream sizing, so a normal size wears relaxed rather than fitted.
Tip: Take your usual size for the intended boxy streetwear look, or size down one if you want anything close to a regular fit.
High confidence · based on 18 sources
By category
| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hoodies & sweatshirts | runs large | heavyweight and oversized with dropped shoulders and a roomy body | Consider sizing down one, as your normal size tends to wear quite oversized. |
| Shirts & overshirts | slightly large | relaxed camp-collar and work-shirt cuts with a boxy torso | Order your usual size for a relaxed drape, or size down if you want a cleaner, less billowy shirt. |
| Trousers & pants | slightly large | relaxed to wide through the seat and thigh | Take your true waist size and expect a roomy leg; hemming is commonly needed on shorter frames. |
| Jeans & denim | slightly large | loose, straight to wide-leg denim with a high-ish rise | Buy your measured waist size — the cut is intentionally baggy, so sizing up rarely helps. |
| Jackets | slightly large | boxy coach jackets and workwear silhouettes with room for layering | Your usual size layers easily; size down only if you want the jacket to sit close to the body. |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | slightly large | boxy with a wide chest and slightly dropped shoulder | Stick with your usual size for the classic boxy look, or size down if you prefer a trimmer, longer-looking tee. |
