ACDC Size Guide
ACDC is a contemporary brand known for bold, statement-making apparel and footwear that blends rock-inspired aesthetics with everyday wearability. Our sizing is designed to deliver a confident, comfortable fit across trainers, casual clothing, and accessories. Whether you're a devoted fan or discovering the brand for the first time, this guide ensures you find your perfect size across all ACDC product categories.
How to Measure
- Chest: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape measure parallel to the ground and snug (but not tight) under your arms and across your shoulder blades.
- Waist: Find your natural waistline — typically where your body creases when you bend slightly forward or where you naturally wear your trousers. Measure loosely around this point without pulling the tape tight.
- Hips: Stand with feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips and bottom, keeping the tape parallel to the ground.
- Foot Length: Place your foot flat on a hard surface with socks on (as you would wear trainers). Measure from your heel to the tip of your longest toe. Record the measurement in both centimetres and inches for reference against our charts.
- Timing: Measure your feet in the evening when they are slightly swollen from daily activity — this gives the most accurate size for trainers and ensures comfort throughout the day.
- Compare Both Feet: It is common for one foot to be slightly larger than the other. Always size to fit your larger foot for optimal comfort.

Product-Specific Guidance
Trainers & Casual Footwear
ACDC trainers are cut true to size with a spacious toebox ideal for all-day comfort. We recommend sizing to your measured foot length. If you are between sizes, choose the larger option to accommodate socks and natural foot swell. Our trainers feature supportive midsoles and durable outsoles suitable for street style, gigs, and everyday wear. Wide-footed wearers often find comfort in half-sizes up.
T-Shirts & Casual Tops
ACDC graphic tees and band merchandise tops have a relaxed, slightly oversized fit that celebrates the brand's bold aesthetic. If you prefer a closer fit, size down by one size. If you favour a generous silhouette, stick to your measured size or size up. All tops are pre-shrunk to minimise shrinkage; however, we recommend washing in cold water and air-drying to preserve print durability and fabric integrity.
Hoodies & Sweatshirts
Hoodies and sweatshirts from ACDC are designed with comfortable room through the shoulders and sleeves. Our standard fit works well for layering and delivers authentic band-inspired comfort. Check the specific product description for any oversized or fitted variants, as some styles are intentionally dropped or cropped. Torso length runs regular unless otherwise noted.
Jeans & Bottoms
ACDC jeans come in classic, straight-leg, and tapered cuts. Measure your waist where you wear your jeans (not your natural waist) and your inside leg length with shoes on. Our jeans are typically raw or pre-treated; raw denim may shrink slightly in the first wash. Refer to individual product care instructions for pre-wash recommendations. Sizing is consistent across collections.
Sizing Tips
- Measure twice, order once: Use a soft measuring tape and enlist a friend to ensure accuracy, especially for chest and hip measurements. Consistency across your measurements reduces returns and fitting issues.
- Account for brand-specific fits: ACDC merchandise tends toward relaxed, authentic rock-inspired silhouettes. Our graphic tees and band apparel intentionally skew slightly oversized; if you prefer a tighter fit, consider sizing down by one size.
- Check individual product descriptions: Some ACDC styles — such as fitted band jackets or cropped hoodies — may run smaller or larger than the standard size chart. Always read the product-specific guidance on the item page.
- Trainer fit requires accurate foot measurement: Trainers should be snug around the heel and midfoot but allow enough room to wiggle your toes. If your foot length falls between two sizes, choose the larger size unless you prefer a very snug fit. Remember that socks add thickness; measure with socks on.
- Washing and care preserve fit: Turn garments inside out before washing, use cold water, and air-dry most pieces to prevent shrinkage and fading of band graphics. Hot water and machine drying can alter sizing, especially in cotton-rich blends.
- Women's sizes run 1.5 sizes smaller than men's in the same EU number: A women's UK 10 (EU 38) is not the same fit as a men's UK 10 (EU 44). Always cross-reference the gender-specific chart for accurate conversion.
- International shipping notes: If ordering from outside the UK, confirm that your chosen size matches the international conversion chart. US and EU brands often grade differently; our charts reflect ACDC's specific sizing standards.
