The Dixxon Fit Guide: How to Dial In Your Flannel Size

 

Nothing kills your vibe faster than a flannel that fits like a tent or chokes you out when you reach for the bars.

Finding the perfect fit isn't rocket science, but it does require more than just guessing based on what you wear in "mall brands." Our gear is built with a custom Signature D-Tech™ blend and specific measurements designed for the active, hands-on lifestyle. Ready to gear up? Use this guide to find your size, then head over to our Men's Flannels collection to grab your next favorite.

Know Your Numbers: How to Measure

Before you look at a chart, you need to know your own specs. Grab a soft tape measure and follow these steps to get an accurate read.

Key Points of Measurement

• Chest/Bust: Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, under your armpits. Keep the tape level—don’t let it sag in the back.
• Waist: For men, this is the widest part of your midsection; for women, it’s the narrowest part, usually just above the belly button.
• Hips/Sweep: Measure around the widest part of your hips or the bottom hem of the shirt (the sweep) to ensure it doesn't bunch at the waist.
• Across Shoulder: Measure from the edge of one shoulder blade to the other across your back.
• Sleeve Length: Start from the center of your neck (back side), go across the shoulder, and down to the wrist bone.
• Center Back Length: Measure from the base of the collar down to the hem.

Men’s Flannel Sizing: Built for the Bold

Dixxon Pro-Tip: If you’re between sizes or plan on layering your flannel over a hoodie for those chilly morning rides, size up. Our D-Tech™ material is designed to resist shrinking, so the size you buy is the size it stays.

Need More Length? Tall Sizes

We know the struggle of "high-water" sleeves. We offer Tall Sizes (LT, XLT, 2XLT) for the tall crew, adding extra length to the body and sleeves. Check out the Official Size Guide for the full breakdown of extended specs.

The "Dixxon Fit" vs. Everything Else

While the industry often struggles with inconsistent sizing, we stay grounded in what our community needs.

• Signature D-Tech™ Blend: This isn't your grandpa's itchy wool. It’s a breathable, durable poly-blend that feels like high-end flannel but performs like workwear.
• Mitered Edges: Check the pockets and cuffs. Those clean, angled cuts aren't just for looks—they provide a superior finish and durability.
• Hidden Collar Stays: No more flying collars when you're hitting highway speeds. Our buttons stay hidden to keep your look clean.

Culture-Specific Fit Tips

• Bikers: Look for the Tall options if you have a long reach. You want that sleeve to hit your wrist comfortably even with your arms extended.
• Skaters: Mobility is king. Stick to your true size for a streamlined fit that won't snag, or size up for a relaxed look.
• The Workshop Crew: If you’re turning wrenches, the standard fit provides enough room in the shoulders to move without the shirt pulling across your back.

Final Thoughts: Live Fast, Fit Right

At the end of the day, a flannel is more than a piece of clothing—it’s a companion on a late-night ride and a badge of honor on the job site. Don’t settle for a "close enough" fit. Use the charts, measure twice, and join the Dixxon family with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Dixxon flannels true to size?

Yes. We design our flannels to fit exactly how a premium flannel should. Because our custom D-Tech™ fabric doesn't shrink, you don't need to "guess" the post-wash fit. What you buy is what stays.

What is the difference between "Slim" and "Regular" fits?

Dixxon primarily uses a tailored "working man" cut across our main line. It’s designed to be clean-cut without being restrictive. If a specific drop features a "Slim Fit," it will be explicitly noted. Most of our Fam finds our standard cut to be the perfect middle ground.

Do Dixxon flannels shrink in the wash?

Nope. That’s the magic of the D-Tech™ blend. Unlike 100% cotton flannels that turn into crop tops after one trip to the dryer, ours maintain their shape and size wash after wash.

How do I care for my flannel to keep the fit?

To keep that "new shirt" feel, machine wash cold and hang dry. Our D-Tech™ fabric is wrinkle-resistant, so you can skip the iron and get back to the adventure.

What if I bought the wrong size?

Don't stress. We’re a community first. Let’s get you back to your adventures as quickly as possible—check out our official returns page for easy swaps so you can get the right gear for the job.
