Size Guide
Each purchase of a product from Tigerbob demonstrates your commitment to ethical production and supply chain innovation. Our garments are made on-demand in your requested size. We do not carry any clothing stock at our factory.
The number one reason for returns is errors in sizing and fit. Please check our detailed size charts of our garments below for assistance. We cannot be responsible for the purchase of incorrect sizes and will not accept returns or issue refunds due to incorrect sizing.
If you have any questions about what size to purchase or what fit you would prefer, please contact us so we can help you make the best decision.

SIZE CHARTS
We use "flat lay measurements" for our garments to ensure you can find your perfect fit.
Our product listings include the corresponding size chart for that garment in the description and image gallery, for reference.
HOW TO MEASURE - TOPS
Our size charts provide measurements for the garment's body length, sleeve length, and chest width. You can use these measurements and compare to another sweater in your closet with the desired fit.
You can also use these measurements and compare to the measurements on your body.
In either case, sewing tape measure is the best tool for accuracy. If you don’t have one, a non-stretchy string with a ruler/yardstick can be used.
As an example, below is the size chart for our Embossed Tigerbob Jersey.
A (BODY LENGTH)
Measurement from the highest point of the shoulder to the bottom of the hem.
Comparing to your garment: Button or zip up your garment front and lay it flat with the back of the garment facing up. Place the measuring tape at the seam where the collar attaches to the body of your garment and measure straight down the middle of the back to the hem's edge.
Comparing to your body measurement: For best results we recommend that you compare not to your body but to a garment you already have that fits you well.
B (CHEST WIDTH)
Measurement of the width of the garment below the armpit.
Comparing to your garment: Place the measuring tape on the fold of the body of your garment under the sleeve where it attaches to the body of the garment (armpit), and measure across to the same point on the other side of the garment.
The measurement seen in the chart refers to the width of the chest when lying flat. Double this figure to get chest circumference.
Comparing to your body measurement: Double the width shown in the size chart to get chest circumference. Then, measure yourself at the apex (largest point) of your chest and around your back at the same level. Compare the numbers you calculated to understand the best fit. Allow at least 2-4” ease (or more, depending on your desired fit) in chest measurement when comparing to the garment.
C (SLEEVE LENGTH)
Measurement of the sleeve from center back of the garment's collar to the cuff's edge.
Comparing to your garment: Lay your garment flat with the back facing up. Extend one sleeve out to the side and smooth it out as much as possible. Start the tape measure at the center back, just below the collar, at the shoulder seam where the sleeve begins. Measure out to the edge of the cuff.
Comparing to your body measurement: For best results we recommend that you compare not to your body but to a garment you already have that fits you well.
For a perfect sleeve, the shoulder seam should rest at the edge of your shoulder, just where it begins to slope (not resting atop your shoulder or drooping down to your upper arm). Please note that our garments are designed to be oversized. Sleeves should bunch up at the wrists slightly on shorter customers and be considered normal length on taller customers.
HOW TO MEASURE - BOTTOMS
Men's and women's bottom sizes vary greatly depending on the type of bottoms, the desired fit, and the brand. For reference, our bottoms are based on the fit of your typical jogger pants or shorts. Our size charts provide measurements for the length of the pant, the width of the waist band unstretched, and the inseam length. You can use these measurements and compare to another pair of jogger or shorts in your closet with the desired fit.
In either case, sewing tape measure is the best tool for accuracy. If you don’t have one, a non-stretchy string with a ruler/yardstick can be used.
As an example, below is the size chart for our Jacquard Tigerbob Lounge Pants.
A (BODY LENGTH)
Measurement from the top of the waistband to the end of the cuff.
Comparing to your garment: Preferably, measure another pair of joggers or jersey shorts for the closest fit. Lay your garment flat and place the measuring tape at the edge of the top of the waist band. Measure straight down the edge of the pant leg to the edge of the pant leg cuff.
Comparing to your body measurement: For best results we recommend that you compare not to your body but to a garment you already have that fits you well.
B (WAIST WIDTH)
Measurement of the waistband at the top edge. Please note that our bottoms are knitted with built-in lycra for stretch and include a drawstring for additional adjustment.
Comparing to your garment: Preferably, measure another pair of pants or shorts with an elastic waist band. Place the measuring tape at the top of the waistband and measure all the way across the waist band.
The measurement seen in the chart refers to the width of the waistband when lying flat, unstretched. Double this figure to get waist circumference.
Comparing to your body measurement: For best results we recommend that you compare not to your body but to a garment you already have that fits you well, especially since the waist band has stretch and the drawstring adds additional waist adjustment.
C (INSEAM LENGTH)
This is the distance from the crotch seam to the bottom of the leg.
Comparing to your garment: Preferably, measure another pair of joggers or jersey shorts for the closest fit. Place the measuring tape at the crotch where the pants legs meet. Measure straight down the edge of the pant leg to the edge of the pant leg cuff.
Comparing to your body measurement: For best results we recommend that you compare not to your body but to a garment you already have that fits you well.
INFORMATION: W/L MENS PANTS SIZING
Men's pants sizing in the United States is often a set of two numbers, like 32x32. This sizing is based on the pants' waist circumference, followed by the length of the inseam, both in inches. If you only have these two numbers, we can help you find your size.
The first number, the waist size, is the circumference of the waistband of the pants. Our bottoms are flat-lay measurements, which means we list our waistband size as the width lying flat, not the circumference of your waist. Divide your waistband size in half to find the fat lay waistband width. Don't forget that our waist bands contain stretchy Lycra and measurements are provided unstretched.
The second number is the inseam length. This is the distance of the crotch connection to the bottom of the pant leg. Our bottoms have a drop crotch, which is common for pants that are baggy and less fitted, so keep this in mind when comparing your inseam measurement.
