Iron Lion pieces run true to size and are unisex — most people order their usual size. Because every piece is made to order, getting the size right the first time matters, so here's how to choose with confidence.
The surest way: measure a piece you already love
- Grab a hoodie, tee, or tank from your closet that fits exactly how you like.
- Lay it flat. Measure the chest (armpit to armpit, then double it) and the length (top of the shoulder straight down to the hem).
- Order the size whose measurements are closest. Want it roomier? Size up. Want it closer to the body? Size down.
Choosing between sizes
If you're going by your usual size, here are the general body chest ranges most people fall into (a guide for picking S vs M vs L — not exact garment specs):
| Size | Chest — inches | Chest — cm |
|---|---|---|
| S | 34–37" | 86–94 |
| M | 38–41" | 97–104 |
| L | 42–45" | 107–114 |
| XL | 46–49" | 117–124 |
| 2XL | 50–53" | 127–135 |
| 3XL | 54–57" | 137–145 |
| 4XL | 58–61" | 147–155 |
| 5XL | 62–65" | 158–165 |

Fit by style
- Hoodies — heavyweight and structured, true to size. Size up for an oversized look.
- Training & Everyday Tees — relaxed, heavyweight fit. Size down one for a closer cut.
- Essential Tee — classic fit, true to size.
- Tanks — relaxed unisex jersey, true to size.
- Headwear — one size, adjustable to fit most.
Fabric & care
Every Iron Lion piece is built from heavyweight, structured fabric chosen to hold its shape through training and washing. To keep the print bold and the fit true:
- Machine wash cold, inside out, with like colors
- Tumble dry low, or hang to dry
- Do not iron directly on the print
- Do not bleach or dry-clean
Washed this way, the graphic stays crisp and the garment keeps its weight and shape wear after wear.
