Size Guide
Find your perfect fit with our detailed measurements
Pre-Owned Items - Check Each Listing!
Since all our items are pre-owned and from various brands, sizing can vary significantly. Each product listing includes specific measurements in the description. We highly recommend checking these measurements before purchasing to ensure the best fit!
Where to Find Measurements
Look for the "Product Details" section on each item's page. Most listings include key measurements such as:
- Bust/Chest: Measured across the chest from armpit to armpit
- Waist: Measured across the waistband or natural waist
- Hips: Measured at the widest part of the hips
- Length: From shoulder to hem or waist to hem
- Inseam: For pants, from crotch to hem
- Shoulder width: From seam to seam across the back
- Sleeve length: From shoulder seam to cuff
- Neck size: For dress shirts and button-downs
How to Measure Your Clothes
The best way to ensure a good fit is to compare our measurements to a similar item you already own and love:
Find a Similar Item
Grab a similar item from your closet that fits you well (e.g., if buying a dress shirt, use a dress shirt you love).
Lay It Flat
Place the item on a flat surface and smooth out any wrinkles. Button all buttons for shirts.
Measure Accurately
Using a flexible measuring tape or ruler, measure the same points listed in our product description. Measure in inches and compare to our listed measurements.
Compare
If your item measurements match or are very close to our listed measurements, the item should fit similarly!

Men's Sizing Tips
📏 Dress Shirts
- • Neck size matters: Measure your neck circumference at the point where the collar sits (usually mid-neck). Add 1/2" for comfort.
- • Sleeve length: For dress shirts, measure from center back neck, across shoulder, down to where you want the cuff to end (usually at wrist bone).
- • Fit types: Slim fit has less chest/waist room than classic fit. Compare chest measurements carefully.
👔 Jackets & Suits
- • Shoulder fit is key: The shoulder seam should align with your natural shoulder. This is hard to alter, so pay close attention!
- • Chest room: Add 4-6" to your actual chest measurement for a comfortable fit. Slim fit adds 4", regular adds 5-6".
- • Length: Jacket should cover your seat. Measure from collar to hem and compare.
👖 Pants & Jeans
- • Waist size: Men's pants often stretch 1-2" with wear. Compare laid-flat measurements, not tag size.
- • Inseam accuracy: Measure from crotch straight down to where you want pants to end. Most men wear 30"-34" inseams.
- • Rise: Low rise (9-10"), mid rise (10-11"), high rise (11"+). This affects comfort and fit at waist.
- • Leg opening: Skinny (14-15"), slim (15-16"), straight (16-17"), relaxed (17-18"). Measure at hem.
👕 T-Shirts & Casual Tops
- • Chest width: Measure across chest 1" below armpit. Double this for full circumference.
- • Length: Measure from shoulder seam (where neck meets shoulder) straight down. Most men prefer shirts that hit mid-fly to hip.
- • Shrinkage: Pre-owned cotton tees may have shrunk slightly. Always check actual measurements.
Tips for Finding Your Perfect Fit
- Always check the description - Don't rely on the size tag alone! A "Medium" from one brand may fit like a "Large" from another.
- Compare to your own clothes - This is the most reliable way to ensure a good fit.
- Check fabric content - Stretchy fabrics (spandex, elastane) are more forgiving than non-stretch materials.
- Read the condition notes - Pre-owned items may have slight variations from their original size due to wear and washing.
- Look at all photos - Multiple angles help you visualize the fit and style.
- When in doubt, ask! If measurements aren't listed or you need clarification, contact us before purchasing.
