Size Guide
Vintage sizing is its own sport. Tags lie, measurements don't. Here is how we measure every garment, flat on a table.
How we measure
- Pit to pit: straight across the chest from armpit seam to armpit seam.
- Length: from the top of the shoulder next to the collar down to the bottom hem.
- Waist: across the top of the waistband, doubled. Boardshorts are listed by tagged waist size.
- Inseam: crotch seam to leg opening.
Rough conversion
| Pit to pit (flat) | Modern fit |
|---|---|
| 19 to 20" | S |
| 21 to 22" | M |
| 23 to 24" | L |
| 25 to 26" | XL |
Era notes
80s gear runs small and boxy, so size up. 90s gear is oversized by design, and a 90s L usually wears like a modern XL. Y2K pieces run long and baggy, which is great over a hoodie. When in doubt, compare against something you own, or ask us and we will measure anything on request.
