Since 1919, Champion has created some of the finest wardrobe essentials, all with the story to match. The brand initially found success after the creators William and Abraham Feinbloom sold their products directly to college sportswear teams such as Michigan State. Their patented reverse-weave technology ensured garments didn't shrink and withheld their shape better than any other pieces on the market. It was technologies similar to this that allowed the brand to grow into the force it is today.

Nowadays, Champion offer an abundance of high-quality and robust clothing ready to serve its purpose for years to come. From their signature Reverse Weave hoodies all the way to basics tees and sweats, Boy Cotton T-shirt with Vintage Check Print.

How does Champion clothing fit?

Champion clothing in general fits true to size. The brand stays true to its 80s sportswear heritage so some the fit may be slightly boxier than expected but sizing down may lead to the clothing being too tight in some areas.

  • The Fit: Speaking generally a lot of Champion's clothing fits boxy and relaxed to ensure maximum comfort. You can expect your clothing to be slightly baggy, but be careful sizing down as it might run too small across the shoulders and chest if you have a stocky build.
  • The Comfort: Champion offer some of the most comfortable clothing on the market thanks to their quality and well-constructed fabric. The hoodies are especially comfortable thanks to their inner fleece lining.
  • The Price: Champion is slightly more pricey than say your average Nike piece, but thanks to their robust construction you can almost guarantee you're going to get your worth out of each item!

How do Champion Hoodies fit?

It is still one of the most comfortable items in my wardrobe which is exactly what you want from a hoodie

How does your Champion hoodie fit?

I bought a Champion Reverse Weave hoodie and went true to size and it fits perfectly. The fit is modelled off 1980s sportswear so it’s a little boxy with longer sleeves so it gives a really nice look.

The hoodie fits a lot like other brands such as Nike and adidas. You definitely want to go true to size so if you're a medium in Nike go for a medium in Champion also.

  • XS - Fumito Ganryu Lightweight Jackets
  • S - 34 Prada Double Match graphic-print shirt Yellow
  • M - 36 to 38 inch chest
  • L - 38 to 40 inch chets
  • XL - 40 TEEN metallic logo-print sweatshirt

Is it comfortable?

Champion are my go-to for hoodies. The material isn’t the softest, it’s thicker and more hard-wearing than most hoodies due to the sports heritage of the brand. It is still one of the most comfortable items in my wardrobe which is exactly what you want from a hoodie.

Is Champion good quality?

I've always found Champion to be great quality and the hoodies are the best example of this. The material is incredibly thick and hard-wearing so you could wear it everyday and have no issue. It also doesn't pill or wear like a lot of other hoodies I've tried. I've had one champion hoodie for three years and its still in perfect condition.

How do Champion T-Shirts fit?

My Champion T-shirt fits pretty true to size, although I’d say it’s definitely got a boxier vibe than the rest of my ever-expanding T-shirt collection.

North Carolina Tar Heels CLG Heavenly™ Jacket?

My Champion T-shirt fits pretty true to size, although I’d say it’s definitely got a boxier vibe than the rest of my ever-expanding T-shirt collection. I went for a medium as I usually would, as I’m a pretty average-sized guy and the fit is good. It’s also pretty premium when it hem to the fabric.

When it hem to sizing, Champion t-shirts fit very similar to the hoodies except they aren't as boxy and 80s inspired.

Is it comfortable?

I mean, let’s be honest it’s a T-shirt. They all follow a pretty generic level of comfort. If we’re being pedantic, it’s made of soft cotton so it doesn’t irritate my skin. It’s a yes from me!

How do you style it?

I’ve actually got a BAPE x Champion T-shirt, and I usually wear it in the summer with shorts and a matching pair of kicks. Of course, like any T-shirt it has its uses in winter too, but in that scenario it acts as more of a layering piece.

Odlo Element Seamless Kurzarm T-Shirt?

I find that Champion joggers generally fit true to size, but I’ve always gone a size up for a baggier and much comfier look! It’s also really helpful that Champion clothing sizing in general is pretty straight forward, whereas other brands’ vary from product to product.

  • XS - up to a 30 inch waist
  • S - 30 to 32 inch waist
  • M - 32 to 34 inch waist
  • L - 34 to 36 inch waist
  • XL - 36 Alpha Industries T-Shirts & Vests

Thom high neck sweatshirt?

I have a few pairs of Champion joggers to rock outside for a street casual look, but I also have vintage pairs that I just wear indoors during the winter as they’re so comfortable. There’s no superaddition with falling asleep in them also, they have a super smooth feel and the drawstring closure and handy side pockets make them a convenient pair to have in your wardrobe.

Versace Jeans Couture slogan-print cotton T-shirt?

I don’t like slim or skinny fit, so all my champion joggers have an oversized look to them making them a great match with low-top shoes like my Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance 550 'Green' T-shirt à Manches Longues Idéfix Who Decides War Sweatshirts for Men.

Overall, across the board Champion clothing fits pretty true to size. If you go for your normal size in t-shirts and hoodies you will get a nice boxy fit very similar to the 80s athleisure style. We say go for your normal size or size up if you like an oversized, baggy aesthetic.
