Original Fit: The garment should be a generally loose fit. This should not be form-fitting. Ideal for base layers.

Relaxed Fit: The garment should be looser fitting in the arms, chest, and stomach area. Expect a slightly oversized, slouched look. Ideal for layering over another piece or for oversized fashion.

Loose Fit: The garment should be a very loose fit. Expect extra room in the arms, chest, and stomach areas. Ideal for top layers and for activities that require mobility. Ideal for an extra-oversized look.
