Brixton Size Guide
Brixton is a heritage lifestyle brand specialising in headwear, clothing, and footwear designed for skateboarders, musicians, and style-conscious individuals. Known for relaxed fits and quality construction, Brixton's sizing tends toward a comfortable, slightly loose silhouette. The brand offers extended size ranges across headwear (XS–XL), clothing (XS–5XL for men; XS–XL for women), and footwear. Sizing varies across product categories, so always consult the specific size chart for your item type.
How to Measure
- Head Circumference (for headwear): Find a flexible cloth measuring tape or use a length of string. Measure around your head where a hat will sit comfortably, approximately one inch above your eyebrows and ears, across the fullest part of the back of your head. Keep the tape snug but not tight.
- Chest: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape horizontal and parallel to the ground. Do not pull the tape taut; it should sit comfortably against your body.
- Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your waist (typically where your body bends side to side), keeping the tape horizontal. This is usually at or slightly above your navel.
- Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips, keeping the tape horizontal.
- Arm Length (optional for outerwear): Measure from the top of your shoulder joint to your wrist, with your elbow slightly bent.
- Record and compare: Measure twice for accuracy. Compare your measurements to the relevant Brixton size chart below. If you fall between two sizes, Brixton recommends sizing up for a roomier fit.

Product-Specific Guidance
Headwear (Beanies, Caps, Fedoras, Snapbacks): Brixton hats are sized by head circumference and standard hat sizes. Measure your head where the hat will sit—roughly one inch above your eyebrows and ears. If your measurement falls between sizes, Brixton recommends sizing up for comfort. Store felt, woven, and straw hats away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and colour loss. Stuff the crown with tissue paper when storing for extended periods to maintain shape.
Tops (T-Shirts, Flannels, Hoodies, Button-Ups, Jackets): Brixton tops typically feature a relaxed, slightly oversized fit suitable for layering and casual wear. Measure your chest at the fullest point and compare against the men's or women's chart. Chest measurements given are body measurements (not garment measurements), so expect a comfortable amount of ease. Jackets and outerwear may fit roomier than fitted tees.
Bottoms (Trousers, Shorts, Pants, Skirts): Brixton bottoms are available in both international (XS–XL) and US sizing. Measure your waist at the narrowest point and your hips at the fullest. Women's trousers and skirts are offered in UK, US, and international size systems—choose the system that best matches your typical sizing. Inseam/inside leg lengths vary by style; refer to the specific product description for accurate measurements if available.
Footwear: Brixton shoes use UK, US Men's, US Women's, and EU sizing. Measure your foot length in centimetres from heel to toe using a flat ruler or measuring tape. Always measure both feet, as one foot is typically larger; purchase shoes to fit your larger foot. Measure in the evening when feet are slightly swollen, as this provides the most accurate sizing for daily wear.
Sizing Tips
- Measure twice. Accuracy is essential, especially for headwear and fitted items. Measure a second time to verify your measurements before selecting a size.
- Size up between sizes. If your measurements fall on the borderline between two sizes, Brixton recommends choosing the larger size for a more comfortable, relaxed fit consistent with the brand's aesthetic.
- Account for brand fit. Brixton is known for relaxed, slightly oversized silhouettes. If you prefer a tighter fit, consider sizing down; for a looser fit, size up accordingly.
- Hat fit matters. A properly fitting hat should sit comfortably on your head without gaps at the forehead or pressure around the ears. Measure where the hat will actually sit, about one inch above your eyebrows.
- Protect hats in storage. Felt and straw headwear can fade if exposed to direct sunlight for prolonged periods. Store hats in a cool, dark place, stuffed with tissue to maintain shape, or lay flat on a clean surface.
- Check brand-specific fits. Brixton offers different fit styles across product lines. Some styles may run looser than others; always review product images and customer reviews for fit feedback before purchasing.
- Shoe comfort is individual. Width and arch support vary by style. If you have wide feet or high arches, consult product reviews or contact Brixton customer support to determine if a particular shoe will accommodate your needs.
- Clean hats carefully. Spot clean with a damp cloth and warm water only. Avoid harsh chemicals, which can damage the original quality and colour of felt, straw, or woven materials.
