Every item has a size chart on the product page. Measure your chest, waist and hips in inches and follow the chart to find the best fit for your body. If you’re still not sure, reach out to us and we’ll help guide you in the right direction.
If you are in-between sizes we recommend sizing down for a tight fit and sizing up for a comfortable, but not baggy fit. Any items with a waistband don't size down as it may cause a muffin top effect.
In some circumstances sizing down can create stress on the zipper causing it to break.

Print products can also vary slightly from the pictured swatch, depending on where the cut falls within the roll of our organic latex materials.
