HOW TO MEASURE
For the best guide to fit, measure around the fullest part of your chest. Keep the tape level, comfortably close to the body and do not pull it tight.
FIT & SIZING
FIND YOUR SIZE
Most YAKUDO clothing follows standard UK sizing. VELO cycling jerseys are different: most are designed as a close race fit, so we recommend going up one size from the size you normally wear.
Sizing should be straightforward. For T-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts and our other everyday clothing, choose your normal UK size. VELO cycling jerseys are covered separately below because most are race fit.
BE REALISTIC ABOUT FIT
The size on the label matters less than being comfortable in the clothing. Use the size you genuinely wear now rather than the size you would like the label to say.
- Standard clothing: choose your usual UK size.
- VELO jerseys: most are race fit and deliberately close to the body.
- If you normally wear a Medium, for example, we would normally recommend a Large VELO jersey.
- If a particular product has a different fit or sizing, we will clearly state this on that individual product page.
VELO CYCLING JERSEYS
Most of our VELO cycling jerseys are race-fit jerseys. They are designed to sit closer to the body than normal casual clothing and can feel smaller than the equivalent everyday garment.
OUR RECOMMENDATION: size up by one. If you honestly normally wear a Medium, order a Large. If you normally wear a Large, order an XL.
If you prefer a very close race fit you may choose your normal size, but for most riders we recommend going up one size for a more comfortable fit.
| Your usual UK size | S | M | L | XL | 2XL |

| Recommended VELO jersey | M | L | XL | 2XL | Check product page |
ALL OTHER CLOTHING
Our T-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, event T-shirts and other lifestyle clothing use standard UK sizing unless the individual product page specifically says otherwise.
Choose the size you would normally buy in UK clothing. If you are between two sizes, your choice will depend on whether you prefer a closer or more relaxed fit; for comfort, the larger of the two is usually the safer choice.

DIFFERENT-SIZED PRODUCTS: if we sell any item that does not follow our normal sizing guidance, this will be clearly stated on the individual clothing page alongside the sizes available for that product.
