Size
Guide.
The right fit begins with the right information. Use these measurements as a starting point, then confirm the product-specific chart on each item before ordering.
Before ordering
APOSTLE products may be made with different garment blanks and production partners. Measurements can vary slightly between styles, colors, batches and manufacturers. The product page chart should always take priority over this general guide.
Fit overview
Designed to be worn with intention.
Most APOSTLE apparel uses unisex sizing. A unisex fit is generally based on traditional men's sizing and may feel roomier on some body types. Product descriptions identify whether an item is regular, relaxed or intentionally oversized.
Do not rely only on the size letter. Compare actual garment measurements to a piece you already own and enjoy wearing.
More room
Choose your usual size for ease, or size down for a closer fit.
Intentional volume
Choose your usual size for the designed look, or size down for less drape.
How to measure
Measure the garment—not the guess.
Place a similar garment on a flat surface without stretching it. Smooth out wrinkles, then measure using a flexible tape. Garment measurements are different from body measurements.
Chest width
Lay a similar garment flat and measure straight across from armpit to armpit. Double that number for the approximate garment circumference.
Body length
Measure from the highest point of the shoulder down to the bottom hem.
Sleeve length
Measure from the center back of the neck, across the shoulder and down to the sleeve opening.
Compare garments
For the most reliable result, compare the chart to a garment you already own and like.

Garment care
Care that protects the message.
Proper care helps preserve print quality, fabric shape and color. Always follow the care label attached to the garment when it differs from this general guidance.
01
Turn the garment inside out before washing.
02
Machine wash cold with similar colors.
03
Use mild detergent and avoid bleach.
04
Tumble dry low or hang dry when possible.
05
Do not iron directly over printed artwork.
06
Avoid dry cleaning unless the product label permits it.
Sizing questions
Find the fit with confidence.
Are APOSTLE garments true to size?
Most core styles are designed around standard unisex sizing. Fit can vary by garment and production blank, so always review the fit note and size chart shown on the individual product page.
What should I do when I am between sizes?
Choose the larger size for more ease or the smaller size for a closer fit. Comparing the garment measurements to a shirt or hoodie you already own is the most reliable method.
Will cotton garments shrink?
Some natural shrinkage may occur, especially with cotton-rich garments. Washing cold and drying on low heat or air drying helps preserve the original fit.
Can I return an item that does not fit?
Eligible unworn and unwashed apparel may qualify under our published return policy. Review the Shipping & Returns page and contact APOSTLE before mailing anything back.
Garment manufacturing involves normal tolerances, and finished measurements may vary slightly from published specifications. Size charts are informational guides rather than guarantees of fit. Product-specific dimensions and fit notes should be reviewed before purchase.
