This JRE merch size guide will prevent that wasted time and money. You will learn exactly how to measure yourself, compare our size charts, and pick the right fit every time.

Not everyone wants the same fit. Here is a quick reference to help you choose your size based on your priority.

Why Accurate Sizing Matters for JRE Apparel
JRE uses premium materials that behave differently than cheap blanks. Our heavyweight hoodies maintain their shape, meaning a size too large will bag out. The 400 gsm fleece does not shrink like standard cotton, so you cannot rely on shrinking to fix an oversized purchase.
Getting the wrong size sours the experience. A shirt that is too tight restricts movement, while one that is too loose looks sloppy. JRE fans often wear these pieces daily, so the fit needs to be right for the long term.
Additionally, print placement varies with size. A size L tee might have a centered logo, while 3XL shifts it higher. Knowing your exact measurements ensures the art lands where the designer intended.
How to Measure Your Body for the Best Fit
You will need a soft measuring tape and a friend. Measure over bare skin or thin clothing, and keep the tape snug but not tight. Stand naturally, not sucked in.
Chest Measurement
Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, under your armpits and across your shoulder blades. Round to the nearest half inch.Sleeve Length (for hoodies and jackets)
Start at the center back of your neck, run the tape over your shoulder, and down your arm to your wrist bone. This is the most common sizing mistake.Torso Length
Place the tape at the top of your shoulder (near the neck seam) and measure straight down to where you want the hem to fall usually at the hip or mid-zipper. JRE tees run 28-30 inches in length for medium sizes.Waist (for tapered fits)
Measure around your natural waist, just above the belly button. Some JRE hoodies have a slightly tapered waist, so this matters if you want a fitted look.JRE T-Shirt Size Chart and Recommendations
All JRE t-shirts are cut with a regular fit unless noted otherwise. The chart below shows body measurements, not garment measurements. You should add 1-2 inches if you prefer a looser look.
| Size | Chest (inches) | Length (inches) | Sleeve (inches) |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | 34-36 | 27 | 16.5 |
| M | 38-40 | 28 | 17.5 |
| L | 42-44 | 29 | 18.5 |
| XL | 46-48 | 30 | 19.5 |
| 2XL | 50-52 | 31 | 20.5 |
| 3XL | 54-56 | 32 | 21.5 |
T-Shirt Recommendations by Fit Preference
- Slim fit: Order your chest measurement exactly. Example: 40 inches chest = Medium.
- Standard fit: Add 2 inches to your chest measurement. Example: 40 inches chest = Large.
- Oversized / relaxed: Add 4 inches to your chest measurement. Example: 40 inches chest = XL.
I have worn JRE tees for years. The classic logo tee runs true to size but the sleeves are slightly fitted. If you have biceps above 16 inches, consider going up one size for comfort.
JRE Hoodie and Sweatshirt Size Chart
Hoodies and sweatshirts use a different block. They are designed to fit over layers, so they allow more room in the chest and sleeves.
| Size | Chest (inches) | Length (inches) | Sleeve (inches) |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | 36-38 | 27 | 34 |
| M | 40-42 | 28 | 35 |
| L | 44-46 | 29 | 36 |
| XL | 48-50 | 30 | 37 |
| 2XL | 52-54 | 31 | 38 |
| 3XL | 56-58 | 32 | 39 |
Key Fit Notes for Hoodies
- The premium heavyweight hoodie has a roomy body and narrower sleeves. If you want arm room, size up.
- The sherpa-lined bomber runs small in the shoulders. Most buyers go one size up from their tee size.
- All fleece items may feel stiff initially. After two washes on cold and a tumble dry low, they soften and relax about 0.5 inches in length and width.
For a layering hoodie that fits under a jacket, choose your normal tee size. For a stand-alone winter piece, I recommend going up one size.
Tips for International Buyers and Returns
JRE apparel ships from the US, and sizes follow the US standard. If you are used to UK, EU, or Asian sizing, US sizes typically run one to two sizes larger. For example, a US Medium equals roughly a UK Large or EU 48-50.

| US Size | UK Size | EU Size (Chest) | Japan Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | M | 46-48 (cm 91-96) | S |
| M | L | 48-50 (cm 96-101) | M |
