The easiest way to pick your VC fit & size. 

Here’s the simplest way to think about it, based on traditional gendered sizing:

  • Fitted = Women's
  • Standard = Unisex
  • Relaxed = Men's

While the intentionality behind our gender-free fits is anything but simple, we've realized that it’s not as complicated as it seems, either.

The Context... 

In 2023, we announced that our transition to offering 100% gender-free fits was complete. This achievement was the result of years of thoughtful evolution, driven by our desire to live our values through product design, extensive community feedback, and a commitment to creating body shape-based fits.

Four years plus one pandemic later, we've finally done it. - March 7, 2023

The Reaction

We received an outpouring of heartwarming, encouraging feedback. Many people resonated with the reasons we shared when we began this journey in 2018—especially the idea that offering fits based on body shape and personal preference simply made sense. Our commitment to inclusivity was recognized as an important step forward.

At the same time, we empathize with those who found the transition challenging, particularly those frustrated by the process of figuring out which fit and size best suited their preferences. We’re here to make choosing your perfect size as simple as possible. We stand by our commitment to removing arbitrary gender stereotypes from athletic apparel and fostering a more thoughtful, inclusive path forward in sport.

We know that your favourite jersey company changing fits and sizing can be a nuisance, but we're here to help you make the best decision every step of the way.

The Right Fit & Size for You: Classic vs Raglan
Step 1: Pick your Style

CLASSIC

  • Straight body, more relaxed cut. One side seam, set-in sleeve. 
  • Simplest conversion from traditional Men's and Women's sizing
  • Customizable body length

RAGLAN

  • Slimmer cut. Two side seams, raglan sleeve.
  • Fan favourite across genders, perfect for players who enjoy a slimmer jersey especially if they have narrower shoulders and backs.
Step 2: Pick your Fit

CLASSIC
The Classic is available in two fits: Relaxed and Fitted.

  • Classic Relaxed: Very close to VC's previous Men's fit and sizing.
  • Classic Fitted: Very close to VC's previous Women's sizing. 

RAGLAN
The Raglan is available in two fits: Standard and Fitted.

  • Raglan Standard: Slimmer cut. Two side seams, raglan sleeve.
  • Raglan Fitted: The Raglan Fitted has the same base sizing as the Classic Fitted. Due to the raglan sleeve, the shoulders are roomier and the overall fit is less constricting. The Raglan Fitted features waist tapering and is designed to hug the torso more closely than the Classic Fitted.

The Fitted now offers a much more inclusive fit for all genders; read all about its evolution here.
To delve deeper into every aspect of this choice, read our blog dedicated to the question Classic or Raglan: Which jersey style should my team choose?

Step 3: Pick your Size

If you’d like to use the measurements of your favourite jersey to find your new size, see How to Measure for full details. Our Selection Guide will help you compare sizes between our Relaxed, Standard, and Fitted fits.

SIZING ADVICE FOR THE CLASSIC:

  • Classic Relaxed: Choose your standard men’s jersey size, or size down if you are in between sizes. For example, if you like either a men’s medium or men’s large, you’ll be happy with a Relaxed Medium.
  • Classic Fitted: Choose your standard women’s jersey size, or size up if you have a taller/thinner build. In general, if a player usually wears a women’s medium, they’ll be happy with a Fitted Medium.
    • Lots of 5’10” 150lb Male-matching players love our larger Fitted sizes. 
    • For Male-matching players who want to try the Fitted’s slimmer fit, go up one size for a slim fit, or up two sizes if you prefer slightly looser. Your jersey will still be more nicely slim than anything other option on the market.

Customized lengths: The Classic is also available in Tall, which adds 2" to the regular body length, or Short, which removes 2" from the regular body length.

SIZING ADVICE FOR THE RAGLAN:

  • Raglan Standard: The Standard is approximately one size smaller than our Classic Relaxed fit. If you typically wear a men's medium, you may want to order a Standard Large. 
  • Raglan Fitted: Choose your standard women’s jersey size, or size up if you prefer a slightly looser fit – the Raglan Fitted features waist tapering and is designed to hug the torso more closely.

    More style and fit choice = more body shapes who feel comfortable in their uniforms!

Our Promise to You

If you take the time to review our product size charts, read this blog, and can show us that we lead you astray on fit or sizing... we’ll remake your jersey for you, on us. We'll be thankful for your feedback.
