Sizing & care

Fit & Care.

How it fits

Our clothing is cut with a relaxed, boxy streetwear silhouette. This is not an athletic fit. This is not a slim fit. It is designed to wear the way streetwear is supposed to wear — with room, with presence, with intention.

The fit, described plainly

Chest and shoulders run true to size with generous ease. The body drops straight — no tapering at the waist. The sleeve has a relaxed drape. The hem hits at the hip.

If you prefer a tighter fit, size down. If you want to wear it oversized, your regular size will do it. If you're between sizes and you want the shirt to hold its shape after washing, go up.

The fabric is a heavyweight cotton blend — it will not shrink dramatically after the first wash if you follow the care instructions.

Measurements in inches. Chest measured across the front, laid flat, doubled. Length measured from high point of shoulder to hem.

Size Chest Length Sleeve Best for
S 18" 28" 15.5" 34–36" chest True fit or slightly relaxed
M 20" 29" 16.5" 38–40" chest Standard streetwear fit
L 22" 30" 17.5" 42–44" chest Relaxed on most bodies
XL 24" 31" 18.5" 46–48" chest Boxy on smaller frames
2XL 26" 32" 19.5" 50–52" chest True oversized on most
3XL 28" 33" 20.5" 54"+ chest

Measurements are of the garment, not your body. Add 2–4" to your body measurement for a standard fit. Add 4–6" for an oversized fit.

How to measure yourself:

Chest Wrap a tape measure around the fullest part of your chest, under your arms, keeping it level. That number is your chest measurement.
Length Measure from the top of your shoulder, straight down to where you want the hem to hit. Compare to the garment length above.

How to care for it

The prints on our clothing are direct-to-garment. They are built to last through years of wear and washing if you treat them correctly. They will fade faster if you don't. These are not complicated instructions.

Do this
Cold water wash
Gentle cycle
Turn inside out before washing
Hang dry, or tumble dry on low
Iron on low if needed — inside out, never directly on the print
Not this
Hot water wash
High heat dryer
Bleach or harsh detergents
Iron directly on the print
Dry clean

The first wash is the most important. Cold water, inside out, gentle cycle. Do this once and the print sets correctly for the life of the garment.

The fabric will soften with washing. The colors in the print will stay truer longer if you keep the heat low. These are pieces worth keeping — treat them accordingly.

If a print peels, cracks, or fades abnormally within the first 10 washes and you followed these instructions, that's a production issue. Email us a photo and we'll make it right.
