What to know about True Religion
The stitching is the signature
Heavy contrast stitching, the horseshoe logo and a flap-pocket back yoke are the whole identity, carried across Ricky and Billy jean fits and logo tees, hoodies and joggers.
A 2000s premium label, repriced
It rode the 2000s premium-denim boom, then filed Chapter 11 in 2017 and 2020; today it sits at mid-tier prices under private-equity ownership rather than at the top.
Now aimed at hip-hop shoppers
Under CEO Michael Buckley the brand courts a younger hip-hop audience, so the Y2K denim reads as streetwear more than as designer jeans.
How True Religion fits
Overall fit
mixed
Most shoppers report the denim runs close to true to size in the waist with generous inseams, while the branded tees and fleece tend to feel a touch small or slim compared with typical US streetwear sizing.
Tip: Take your usual waist in jeans but expect to hem, and consider sizing up one in logo tees and hoodies if you want anything other than a close fit.

By category
| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trousers & pants | true to size | joggers and sweatpants sit relaxed through the seat with a tapered leg | Take your usual size; the drawcord waist absorbs most fit differences. |
| Jeans & denim | true to size | fit-name dependent — Ricky reads relaxed straight, Billy and Rocco much slimmer through thigh and leg | Order your measured waist and plan on a hem, but consider going up one in the rigid non-stretch fits if you have larger thighs. |
| Jackets | slightly small | denim jackets are cut fairly trim and shrunken through the chest and shoulders | Size up if you want to layer a hoodie underneath a denim jacket. |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | slightly small | regular to slightly slim through chest and sleeve on classic logo tees, with some newer drops cut boxier | Size up one if you prefer a relaxed drape rather than a fitted look. |
| Hoodies & sweatshirts | true to size | regular, moderately roomy streetwear cut | Stick with your normal size and go up one only if you layer heavily or want an oversized look. |
