YZY sizing 1, 2, 3: yeezy.com ran two different charts

A size 2 was M-L. Then it was L-XL. Both answers came from yeezy.com in the spring of 2024, sometimes on the same product page.

yeezy.com sold YZY’s own 2024 clothes at $20 each, in three numbers instead of S to 2XL. The store never settled on what the numbers meant. Here’s the one chart with real measurements, the two scales the store used after it, and which pieces sat on which.

The box tee, measured by yeezy.com

The Vultures box tee, the One box tee and the long T went up together at 19:44 Pacific on 10 Feb 2024. The full story of that drop is in Gap wouldn’t go to $20. Ye’s Vultures box tee did. Their pages carried the only YZY size guide with measurements in every size. These are the box tee’s, in inches as yeezy.com listed them, with centimetres converted.

Size	Chest (in)	Length (in)	Arm span (in)	Chest (cm)	Length (cm)
1	25⅝	25⅛	32⅛	65	64
2	28¼	26⅝	35⅛	72	68
3	30⅞	28⅛	38⅛	78	71

The model note under it: “Brother is 6’3 170 lbs he is wearing size 2.” The black tee’s page said 6’2.

Read the rows across and the shape’s obvious. The tee’s wider than it’s long in every size, and each step up adds about 2⅝ inches of chest but only 1½ of length. Going up a size buys width first.

The long T used its own chart. Length ran 27, 28½ and 30 inches, chest 25⅞, 28¾ and 31¾, and the model, 6’3 and 170 lb again, wore a 2.

March 2024: the Black Dogs scale

A month later the Black Dogs pieces landed. yeezy.com published the hoodie, tee, jogger and socks on 8 Mar 2024. Each one’s description was a single line: “SIZE 1: XS-S 2: M-L 3: L-XL.” There weren’t any measurements this time. The hoodie’s model note had a 6’2”, 170 lb model in a size 2. What Ye did with it that night is in The Black Dogs hoodie went on sale at 1:24pm. Ye wore it that night.

On that scale a 2 covers medium and large, and a 3 tops out at XL.

From late March: the S-M scale

The YZY black hoodie went up on 22 Mar 2024. By the 28th its page had a different guide: 1: S-M, 2: L-XL, 3: XL-2XL. The model changed too: “Trevor is 6’4 170 lbs he is wearing size 3.” The heather grey hoodie, the joggers and the cream tee from late April carried the same scale in their descriptions.

It spread backwards too. By 24 May 2024 the box tee’s page had lost its measurements and showed the S-M guide instead. The black Black Dogs hoodie didn’t get a clean switch. Its page, captured on 7 Apr 2024, had both scales at once: XS-S, M-L and L-XL in the description, and S-M, L-XL and XL-2XL in the size guide underneath.

Not everything moved over. The bodysuit, mini short and tank went up on 26 Apr 2024, and the white cheesecloth tee three days later. They’re all on the old line: 1: XS-S, 2: M-L, 3: L-XL.

Which scale is which

• 1: XS-S, 2: M-L, 3: L-XL. The Black Dogs hoodie, tee, jogger and socks, the bodysuit, the mini short, the tank and the cheesecloth tee.
• 1: S-M, 2: L-XL, 3: XL-2XL. The YZY hoodies and joggers from March and April 2024, the cream tee, and the box tee’s page from May.
• Measurements only. The box tee, One box tee and long T at their February launch.
• No guide at all. The Tribune pages, archived from December 2024 to February 2025, and the Bully tee offered 1, 2 and 3 with nothing else on the page.

Which size to take

Start with the one size both scales agree on. A large is a 2 on either chart. A medium’s a 1 on the S-M scale and a 2 on the XS-S one. An XL’s a 2 or a 3 the same way, so mediums and XLs have to pick a scale first.

Then check the February numbers, because they’re the only ones yeezy.com measured. The size 2 box tee is 28¼ inches across and 26⅝ long. Lay a tee you already like flat, measure straight across under the arms and from the shoulder to the hem, and compare. If yours is longer than 26⅝ and you want to keep that length, take a 3, and accept that it’ll be close to 31 inches wide.

The two model notes point the same way. A 170 lb model wore a 2 at 6’3” and a 3 at 6’4”.

For anything on the Tribune or Bully pages there’s no official guide to go on. The Pods use the same three numbers for shoe sizes, and that chart’s in YZY Pods sizing.

Three numbers were meant to be simpler than S to 2XL. yeezy.com printed two meanings for them inside three months, and the one chart with a tape measure on it came first.
