Simpler Than It Seems
Why our gender-free sizing should not scare you: A guide to choosing your VC fit and size with confidence.
The easiest way to pick your VC fit & size.
Think of it like this, based on what you’re used to:
- Fitted → Women's
- Standard → Unisex
- Relaxed → Men's
We believe in gender-free sizing built on body shape and preference. Although the reasoning is detailed, the process should be straightforward.
The Context...
In March 2023, we completed our move to 100% gender-free fits — a change driven by our commitment to inclusivity, authenticity, and thoughtful design. After years of refining our patterns and listening to our community, our apparel now reflects real bodies and personal preference, not gender labels
Four years plus one pandemic later, we've finally done it. - March 7, 2023
The Reaction
We’re grateful for the many positive messages we received. People told us it simply made sense to pick a fit based on shape and preference, not gender. In their words, this felt like real inclusivity in action.
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 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
- Straight body, relaxed cut (one side seam, set-in sleeve)
- Easiest match for what you’ve worn before (traditional Men's and Women's sizing)
- Available in “Tall” (+2") or “Short” (–2") length options
- Slimmer shape with raglan sleeve and two side seams
- Popular across all body types; ideal if you prefer narrower shoulders or a more tailored look
Step 2: Pick your Fit
CLASSIC
The Classic is available in two fits: Relaxed and Fitted.
- Classic Relaxed: Closest to our previous Men’s fit
- Classic Fitted: Closest to our previous Women’s sizing
RAGLAN
The Raglan is available in two fits: Standard and Fitted.
- Raglan Standard: Slimmer shape than Classic Relaxed
- Raglan Fitted: Same base sizing as Classic Fitted, but with more room in the shoulders (thanks to the raglan sleeve) and a tapered waist for a closer torso fit
The Fitted now offers a much more inclusive fit for all genders; read all about its evolution here.

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: Use your usual men’s jersey size. If between sizes, size down. Example: men’s Medium or Large → Relaxed Medium.
- Classic Fitted: Use your usual women’s jersey size. If you’re taller or slimmer, consider sizing up. Example: women’s Medium → Fitted Medium.
-
Tip: Many players around 5’10” and 150 lb (traditionally men’s-sized) enjoy our larger Fitted sizes for a tailored but comfortable fit.
-
If you’re a traditionally men’s-sized player trying the Fitted: go up one size for a slimmer fit, two sizes if you prefer a bit more room.
Customized lengths: Available lengths: Tall (+2 ") or Short (–2 ") options for body length.
SIZING ADVICE FOR THE RAGLAN:
- Raglan Standard: The Standard tends to run about one size smaller than the Classic Relaxed. If you wear a men’s Medium in other brands, you may want a Standard Large.
-
Raglan Fitted: Use your usual women’s jersey size. If you prefer a slightly looser feel, sizing up is fine. The Raglan Fitted has a closer fit at the torso, with extra shoulder room thanks to the raglan sleeve design.
Bottom line: More style + fit combos = more body shapes feeling great in their uniform.
