When it comes to vintage clothing, sizing can be tricky. 99% of the time you can not trust what the original tag says.
Every single piece of clothing we sell is hand measured and then sized based on the measurements, not the original tag. The size is determined by comparing the measurements to modern day sizing standards.
Below you will find a chart that shows different sizes, XS-3XL, and the measurements each of those pieces should have. Please remember, these measurements are estimates. No two vintage pieces are alike. You will have to measure a similar piece you already own to best determine how ours will fit.
Note: This chart applies to shirts. For polos, jackets, sweatshirts and other outerwear add 2" to both length & width measurements. Ex. A large sweatshirt should measure 23"-24" in width and 26"-27" in length.

If you're unsure about what size to buy, grab a piece of clothing that fits the way you like and measure from underarm seam to underarm seam (that will give you the width) and measure from the top of the shoulder where the seam meets the collar, to the bottom of the shirt. Below is an example of how to take your measurements.
