Size Guide
FIND MY BRO SIZE
Start with what you know.
Your BRO starting size
This is a starting-size recommendation, not a guarantee of fit. Product construction, layering, fit preference and body proportions matter. A direct body measurement is stronger evidence than a competitor label. Always review the specific BRO product’s Fit & Sizing notes and size chart before ordering.
FIT STARTS HERE
Find the right BRO fit with confidence.
Use this guide to take accurate body measurements, understand how BRO fits vary by product, and know exactly where to look before you order.
Measure your body
Use a soft measuring tape and measure over light clothing. Keep the tape level and comfortably snug—never pulled tight.
Check the product page
Use the product-specific Fit & Sizing guidance and size chart as your primary reference. BRO styles can be cut differently for mobility, layering or work use.
Choose for how you work
Think about movement, layering and how you prefer your workwear to feel. If you are between sizes, use the product’s intended fit and your layering needs to guide the final choice.
MEASURE ONCE. ORDER SMART.
How to measure
Stand naturally, keep the tape flat against the body, and have someone help when possible—especially for sleeve and inseam measurements.
Fullest part of the chest
Measure around the fullest part of your chest, under the arms and across the shoulder blades. Keep the tape level all the way around.
Natural waistline
Measure around your natural waist without holding your breath or pulling the tape tight.
Fullest part of the seat
Stand with your feet naturally positioned and measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat.
Crotch to desired hem
Measure from the crotch seam down the inside of the leg to where you want the pant leg to finish.
Center back to wrist
Measure from the center back of your neck, across the shoulder, down the arm and to the wrist.
Best practice: take each measurement twice. If the numbers are different, measure again before choosing a size.
START WITH WHAT YOU’RE BUYING
Fit guidance by product family
There is no single universal BRO fit. Start with the category below, then use the product page for the final size decision.
Work Shirts
Pay closest attention to chest, sleeve and how much room you want for reaching, bending and layering.
Shop Work Shirts →Pants & Shorts
Start with waist and inseam, then consider the product’s rise, stretch, leg shape and intended mobility.
Shop Pants & Shorts →Jackets
Use chest and sleeve measurements, then allow for the layers you expect to wear underneath.
Shop Jackets →Vests
Use chest as your starting point and think about whether the vest will sit over a shirt, hoodie or heavier layer.
Shop Vests →BETWEEN SIZES?
Choose based on the job, not just the number.
If your measurements fall between sizes, use the product’s Fit & Sizing description to understand how that garment is intended to wear.
- Need room to layer? Factor in what you will regularly wear underneath.
- Prioritize mobility? Look for stretch, gussets, pleats, articulated construction or other movement-focused features listed on the product page.
- Prefer a cleaner fit? Compare your measurements closely with the product chart and avoid adding room you do not need.
- Buying for work? Think through the positions you use most—reaching, kneeling, climbing, driving or wearing a tool belt.
Before you order
- Confirm the exact product and style.
- Review its Fit & Sizing copy.
- Open the product-specific size chart.
- Compare your body measurements.
- Account for normal work layers.
- Re-measure if something looks unexpected.
AVOID THE COMMON MISS
Small measuring mistakes can create big fit problems.
Don’t measure your favorite garment and assume it matches body sizing.
Garment measurements and body measurements are different. Unless a product chart specifically says it lists garment dimensions, use your body measurements as directed.
Don’t pull the tape tight.
A measuring tape should sit flat and comfortably snug. Compressing the body can lead you toward a size that feels too restrictive in actual use.
Don’t ignore layering.
A jacket worn over a base layer and hoodie needs a different fit decision than the same jacket worn over a single work shirt.
Don’t skip the product-specific guidance.
BRO product pages include fit notes for the exact garment. Those notes and the product’s size chart should always override generic assumptions.
