Sizing guide: how to choose an oversized fit
An oversized garment is already cut wider than your body. The question is not which size fits, but how much space you want.
Measure flat, not around yourself
Take a t-shirt you like the fit of, lay it flat, and measure the chest one inch below the armhole, straight across. Compare that number with the size chart rather than your body measurement.
Do the same for body length, from the highest point of the shoulder down to the hem.
True oversized or relaxed
For the intended silhouette, take your normal size — the pattern already adds volume through the shoulder and sleeve.
For a longer, wider look, size up once. Going up two sizes changes the shoulder drop enough that the garment reads as a different piece.
Between two sizes
Take the smaller size if you care most about the shoulder line, and the larger if you care most about length. The full chart is available in the size guide on the product page.
