Fallout Size Guide
Fallout delivers bold, statement-making apparel and footwear inspired by post-apocalyptic aesthetics and gaming culture. The brand caters to fans seeking distinctive clothing that balances attitude with comfort, offering generous fits across menswear, womenswear, and unisex silhouettes. Fallout sizing typically runs true to standard UK and EU conversions, though individual pieces may vary; always consult the product-specific measurements before ordering. This guide helps you navigate UK, US, and European sizing systems to find your perfect fit.
How to Measure
- Chest: Wearing a fitted (not tight) t-shirt, measure horizontally across the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape measure parallel to the ground.
- Waist: Measure around your natural waist (where trousers normally sit), keeping the tape snug but not restrictive.
- Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat, approximately 20cm below your waist.
- Length (Tops): Measure from the top of your shoulder to your desired hem length, or compare against a well-fitting garment laid flat.
- Inseam (Bottoms): Measure from the inside of your ankle (at the base of your shoe) up to your groin, or measure the inseam of trousers that fit well.
- Shoe Size: Measure your bare foot in the evening (when feet are slightly swollen) from heel to toe in centimetres. Allow 1–1.5cm of space between your longest toe and the shoe end.

Unisex & Oversized Apparel
Many Fallout graphic tees, hoodies, and jackets are designed to fit unisex or deliberately oversized. When sizing unisex pieces, consult the individual product description and compare measurements to a well-fitting garment in your wardrobe. Unisex styles typically run generously; if between sizes, choose the smaller size for a modern, tailored fit or the larger for a relaxed, vintage aesthetic. Women often size down one size in unisex ranges; men generally select their standard size.

Product-Specific Guidance
T-Shirts & Graphic Tees
Fallout tees are offered in both fitted and oversized cuts. Fitted styles follow standard sizing; oversized styles run 1–2 sizes larger than labelled. Check the product description and compare chest and length measurements before ordering. Tall customers should verify length (typically 66–71cm) as oversized cuts can shorten visually.
Hoodies & Sweatshirts
Hoodies provide comfortable room through the chest and shoulders; they are designed with a relaxed silhouette. Measure your chest and compare to the stated garment width (flat lay). Consider how much layering space you need beneath. If you prefer a snug fit, size down; if you like a spacious, loungewear feel, stick to your standard size or size up.
Jackets & Outerwear
Jackets are tailored for layering over t-shirts and hoodies. Measure your chest at its fullest point and allow 5–7.5cm of ease for comfortable movement. Sleeve length is critical: verify that sleeves reach your wrist bone when arms are relaxed at your sides. Fallout jackets often feature longer sleeves suited to taller frames; petite customers may need to consider cropped or junior sizing.
Bottoms (Trousers, Shorts & Joggers)
When ordering bottoms, provide both waist and inseam measurements. Fallout offers straight, relaxed, and slim fits; select based on your body shape and preferred silhouette. Inseams are typically listed in the product details. If buying in-store conversions, remember UK sizing runs 2 sizes smaller than US (UK 10 = US 6, for example).
Footwear (Trainers, Boots & Casual Shoes)
Fallout footwear includes branded trainers, combat boots, and retro-inspired sneakers. Trainers run true to size; measure your foot length and compare to the conversion chart above. Boots often have a snug break-in period; if between sizes, choose the larger size for comfort. Always review brand-specific fit notes in product descriptions, as some styles may run narrow or wide. Wear the socks or thickness of socks you intend to wear when measuring.
Sizing Tips
- Always measure your body, not just compare to standard sizes. Fallout's fits can vary by fabric (cotton, polyester blends, technical materials) and style (fitted vs. oversized). Two 'Medium' t-shirts may differ by 5cm in length or width.
- Check product photos and customer reviews. Look for comments on fit, shrinkage, and whether a piece runs large or small. Fallout gaming and pop-culture apparel often attracts detailed reviewer feedback.
- Account for fabric shrinkage. Cotton-heavy garments may shrink 2–5% in length and width after the first wash. If you anticipate shrinking, consider sizing up or selecting pre-shrunk blends.
- Women's sizing runs smaller than men's in the same EU number. A UK 12 women's (EU 40) is not the same as a men's EU 40. Always cross-reference the gender-specific chart above.
- For oversized and unisex pieces, read the fit description carefully. Terms like 'relaxed fit' or 'boyfriend cut' indicate looser proportions. Men often size down in unisex collections for a modern fit.
- Measure the inseam on bottoms, not just waist size. Fallout offers both regular and long inseams. A 32-inch inseam for a 5'10" person and a 36-inch inseam for a 6'2" person are both UK 32, but fit entirely differently.
- Check return and exchange policies before ordering across borders. If ordering from the US to the UK or EU, confirm whether returns are free and whether size exchanges incur additional shipping costs.
- Trainers and shoes should allow 1–1.5cm toe space. A tight fit will become unbearable during extended wear. If you have wide feet, check for width options or read reviews mentioning width fitting.
