Dixxon Flannel Sizing Guide: Get the Fit Right the First Time

There’s nothing worse than tracking an upcoming drop for weeks, finally pulling the trigger on a clean new colorway, and ripping open the mail only to realize it fits like a poncho or restricts your arms when you reach for the bars.

Whether you’re dialing in your look for a night out or making sure you have full mobility on your bike, getting the right fit matters. This guide breaks down our baseline dimensions and fit profiles so you can head straight over to grab your next favorite piece from our collection of Men's Flannels with zero hesitation. Check your numbers, secure your style, and lock it in.

The Flannel Cut: Designed for the Working Class

Before you grab a tape measure, you need to understand why a Dixxon fits differently than the thin, cheap button-ups you find at the mall. We engineered our shirts from the ground up with specific functional details tailored to an active, hands-on lifestyle:

• Extra Body Length: Designed to stay tucked in or keep your back covered when you're leaned over riding, wrenching, or skating.

• Generous Sleeve Length: No one wants their sleeves riding up past their forearms when reaching for tall bars or throwing down tricks.

• Signature D-Tech™ Fabric Blend: Our proprietary poly/cotton fabric achieves a soft feel while eliminating common issues. It is completely shrink-proof, wrinkle-resistant, and fade-resistant. What you buy is exactly how it stays, wash after wash.

How to Measure Your Body Dimensions

Grab a flexible fabric measuring tape and a notepad. Keep your posture natural; don't suck it in or pull the tape so tight it chokes your circulation. Keep it flat, snug, and natural.

• Chest / Bust: Wrap the tape measure around the widest part of your chest or bust, keeping it parallel to the ground and tucked under your armpits.

• Sleeve Length: Start the tape at the exact center back of your neck, run it straight across the top of your shoulder, and drop it down the outside of your arm all the way to your wrist bone.

• Across Shoulder: Measure from one shoulder tip straight across your upper back to the opposite shoulder tip.

• Waist: Measure around your natural waistline where your trousers typically sit.

Sizing Snapshots: Men's, Women's, and Youth

We don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Every line is custom-tailored for its specific audience. Here is a snapshot of our core garment dimensions to help you find your baseline block.

1. Men's Flannel Sizing

Our Men's Flannels feature a relaxed, functional cut built for layering and maximum upper-body mobility. If you prefer a closer, more tailored fit and don't plan to layer heavily over hoodies, consider sizing down from your usual size.

S	36–39	36–39	17	30.5	33–35	5'6"–5'10" | 150–170 lbs

Need a Tall Size? For the taller riders who need extra body and arm coverage without adding unnecessary width to the midsection, we also drop LT, XLT, and 2XLT fits with extended lengths.

2. Women's Flannel Sizing

Our Women's Flannels offer a more tailored, contoured fit through the waist and hips while maintaining comfortable room in the chest and shoulders for active movement.

Sizing for Mobility and Layering

A perfect fit isn't just a collection of numbers on a chart; it's about how the garment moves with you when you're living out your passions.

For the Bikers, Skaters, and Doers

If you spend your time hanging onto tall bars or throwing down tricks at the park, broad shoulders demand breathing room. A loose frame sitting poorly can cause your flannel to bunch or pull tight across the shoulder tips, restricting wrist and arm movement. If your chest or shoulder width lands right on the borderline between two sizes, choose the larger size for a classic, functional drape, or opt for Tall fits if extra sleeve length is needed without the added torso width.

The Layering Strategy

How do you plan to rock your flannel?

• The Standalone: If you wear your shirts solo or over a thin t-shirt, stick to your exact measured size block.

• The Outerwear Layer: If you regularly rock your flannel over heavy hoodies or use it as a light jacket on cool night rides, consider sizing up by one size. This gives you plenty of extra breathing room through the torso and ensures a clean, natural drape.

Keeping the Next Gen Locked In: Youth Sizing Tips

Kids grow fast, and they destroy cheap clothes even faster. Because our youth line uses the exact same D-Tech™ fabric as our adult gear, these shirts are built to last.

• Size Up for Growth: If your child is hovering directly between sizes, always size up. The added length gives them a cool, relaxed street style, and it guarantees they won't grow out of a premium limited release in a matter of weeks.

Lock In Your Ideal Flannel Fit

At the end of the day, finding your perfect fit block is what sets you up for absolute comfort and style, whether you are twisting the throttle, grinding a rail, or clocking hours in the workshop. We design our gear to serve the doers, meaning we build in the extra length, shoulder room, and heavy-duty durability you actually need to get your hands dirty.

Don't leave your fit up to guesswork. Take two minutes to write down your body dimensions, figure out your layering style, and look over the complete Dixxon Size Guide so you can order with total confidence. Once you know your size block, you're cleared to gear up and run hard.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do Dixxon flannels run big or small?

Dixxon men's flannels are engineered with a relaxed, active-lifestyle cut that generally runs slightly larger and longer than standard department store button-ups. This intentional design ensures maximum upper-body mobility while riding or skating. If you prefer a closer, more tailored fit and don't plan on layering over hoodies, we recommend sizing down one full size from your regular fit.

Do Dixxon flannels shrink in the wash?

No, Dixxon flannels will not shrink. Every flagship flannel is built using our signature proprietary D-Tech™ fabric blend, which is completely shrink-proof, wrinkle-resistant, and fade-resistant. The size you buy is the exact size it stays, wash after wash.

What is the difference between Dixxon Standard and Tall sizes?

Our tall sizes are engineered specifically for taller frames who need extra coverage without added garment width. A Tall size increases the Center Back Length and expands the overall Sleeve Length reach, allowing you to reach for motorcycle bars or navigate tools comfortably without your wrists or lower back being exposed.

How do I wash my Dixxon flannel to keep it pristine?

To maximize the lifespan of your gear, machine wash cold with like colors and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Thanks to our signature D-Tech™ fabric blend, your shirt won't need ironing or dry cleaning to come out of the wash looking brand new.
