Customer Fit Feedback
MOSTLY TRUE TO SIZE, WITH A SMALL NUMBER OF TALLER OR SHORTER CUSTOMERS NOTING FIT ISSUES AROUND TORSO LENGTH.
Of the customers who shared fit feedback, most found it true to size (75%), while a few felt it ran small (11%) or slightly large (14%). Customers with shorter torsos sometimes notice a bit of extra fabric at the waist, and very tall customers may find the waistband sits a little lower than expected. For the best fit across most body types, it’s recommended to follow the size chart.
