Size Guide

Last updated:

This guide helps you pick the right size for Pickl Ink club wear, for yourself or for a whole team. Every adult garment comes in the same eight unisex sizes at one price, so choosing a bigger or smaller size never changes what you pay. Below you will find how to measure a garment you already own, how our unisex pieces tend to fit, what is one size, and how to size a team order with the homepage sign-up sheet.

Sizing at a glance

  • Adult sizes: S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL and 5XL, unisex.
  • Price: one price for every size. No add-on for larger sizes.
  • One size: dad hat, trucker hat, cuffed beanie, courtside towel, tumbler, ceramic mug and tote bag.
  • Fit: unisex crewnecks and hoodies run roomy. Many players size down; others keep their size to layer.

  • Wrong size: return it within 60 days of delivery with a free return label and order the size you want.

1. Sizes by product

All apparel in the shop is cut for adults and sized unisex. There are no youth sizes. The same eight sizes apply to every tee, the long sleeve, the tank, the crewnecks, the hoodie and the quarter-zip.

2. How to measure a garment you already own

The most reliable way to choose a size is to measure a top that already fits you the way you like, then compare. Pick something of the same type: a tee for a tee, a sweatshirt for a crewneck or hoodie. Use a soft tape measure if you have one; a piece of string and a ruler works too.

  1. Lay it flat. Put the garment face up on a table or the floor, smooth it out and do up any zip. Do not stretch it.
  2. Chest width: measure straight across the front from one side seam to the other, just below the armpits.
  3. Body length: measure from the highest point of the shoulder, next to the collar, straight down to the bottom hem.
  4. Sleeve length: for a long sleeve, crewneck, hoodie or quarter-zip, measure from the shoulder seam along the top of the sleeve to the end of the cuff.
  5. Write the numbers down with the name of the garment, so you know which one they came from.

Measure two tops if you can: one you like loose and one you like closer. The gap between them tells you more about your preference than any chart does.

3. Garment measurements are being confirmed

We are confirming the garment measurements for each product and size, so this guide does not list chest or length figures yet. Until it does, email support@picklink.shop with the product name, the size you are thinking of and the measurements of the garment you own. We reply within 24 hours on business days and help you compare. Once the measurements are confirmed, we plan to add them to this page.

Please measure the garment, not your body. A body measurement and a garment measurement are different things, and comparing garment to garment avoids most mix-ups.

4. How unisex sizing fits

Unisex sizing is cut straight through the body rather than shaped at the waist. If you usually wear tops cut for a fitted shape, a unisex piece in your usual size will often feel looser through the waist and longer in the body. That is the main reason to measure a garment you own before choosing.

Players who like a closer look often pick one size smaller in unisex than they would in a fitted cut. Players who like room to move, or want to wear something underneath, often stay with their usual size. Neither is wrong; it depends on how you like club wear to sit.

5. Fit notes by product

Tees, the long sleeve and the tank

The Kitchen Line Tees, the Four on Four Off Long Sleeve and the Winners Stay Tank are club wear for open play, the bench, the club social and everyday wear, not match kit. They are sized unisex. If you already own a unisex tee you like, measure it and compare. If you are between two sizes and like a relaxed look for warm-up drills or sitting out four on four off, the larger size is the comfortable pick; for a neater look, take the smaller one.

Crewneck sweatshirts

The Varsity Club Crewneck, the Open Play Varsity Crewneck and the After the Last Game Crewneck are unisex crewnecks, and unisex crewnecks run roomy. Many players size down for a cleaner fit. Others keep their size so they can layer it over a tee or long sleeve on a cold outdoor night or in a chilly gym during the winter indoor league. Think about how you will wear it most, then decide.

Pullover hoodie and quarter-zip

The Baseline Pullover Hoodie also runs roomy, like the crewnecks, and the same advice applies: size down for a closer fit, keep your size to layer. For the League Night Quarter-Zip, measure a zip or quarter-zip top you own with the zip done up, since the collar and zip change how a top sits at the neck and chest.

6. Choosing between two sizes

  • Compare first: measure a garment you own, then email us to compare with the size you are considering.
  • Think about layers: if a crewneck or hoodie will go over a long sleeve, the larger of the two sizes is usually the easier choice.
  • Think about the look: for a neater look over a single tee, the smaller size is usually the better choice.
  • Remember the price: every size costs the same, so choose on fit alone.
  • Know the safety net: if it does not work out, the 60-day return with a free return label covers a size that turns out wrong.

7. One-size items

Everything on The Bench is one size: the Kitchen Line Dad Hat, the Paddle Rack Trucker Hat, the Indoor League Beanie, the Courtside Towel with Name, the Bench Tumbler with Name, the Score Call Mug and the Paddle Rack Tote. There is no size to pick at checkout. That makes Bench items an easy gift when you do not know someone’s size, such as a hat for a doubles partner or a towel with a name for every player at the end of the season.

8. Sizing a team order with the sign-up sheet

The homepage sign-up sheet is built for this. It looks like the clipboard round-robin sheet at the courts. Tap a shirt: the Club Crest Tee, the Varsity Club Crewneck or the Team Tee with Back Name. Tap how many players: 4, 6, 8 or 12. Then tap a size from S to 5XL for each player. The sheet counts how many pieces you need in each size, the total pieces and the team total at the listed price. It then links to the shirt with the most-picked size already selected.

The “Copy the sheet” button copies the tally as text, so you can paste it into the group chat and let players check their own size. The sheet is all buttons, with nothing to type, and it is kept only in your own browser. Nothing from it is sent to us, and you do not need an account.

Two tips from team orders. First, ask every player to measure a garment they own before they tell you a size; a quick message with the steps from section 2 saves returns later. Second, do not assume a team fits in two or three sizes. A team that runs from an S for one player to a 5XL for another is common, and every size is the same price, so each player can have the size that fits rather than the size most people picked.

When it is time to order, each player still needs their own cart line with their own size, and their own back name if the shirt takes one. The captain can add every line in one order, or each player can order separately. Browse the team pieces at The Gate: Team Orders.

9. Sizing for gifts

Buying a crewneck for someone else is guesswork unless you can borrow a top they wear. If you can, measure it using the steps in section 2. If you cannot, think about the size they usually buy and remember that unisex crewnecks and hoodies run roomy. If you are still unsure, a one-size item from The Bench avoids the question entirely. For a new player who just learned the kitchen, a Kitchen Line Tee in their usual size is a safe start, with the return window as backup.

10. Common sizing questions

Do the bigger sizes cost more?

No. An S and a 5XL of the same product are the same price. There is no size add-on anywhere in the shop.

Do you have youth or kids sizes?

No. Every garment is adult unisex, from S to 5XL.

Can one order have several different sizes?

Yes. Add one cart line per person with their own size. A doubles pair can order two Doubles Partners Tees in two different sizes on the same order, and a team of 12 can have 12 lines in whatever mix of sizes the players need.

Do the personalisation fields change with the size?

No. The text fields and character limits on a personalised piece are the same whichever size you pick, so a back name of up to 12 characters can be entered on an S or a 5XL alike.

I am between sizes on a crewneck. Which way should I go?

Ask yourself what goes underneath. Over a single tee, many players size down because unisex crewnecks run roomy. Over a long sleeve, staying with your usual size leaves room for the layer. If you are still unsure, email us with the measurements of a sweatshirt you own.

Will a Canadian winter league hoodie fit over a jacket?

The Baseline Pullover Hoodie is meant to go over a tee or a long sleeve, not over a coat. If your indoor gym is cold and you plan to wear a long sleeve under it, keep your usual size rather than sizing down.

11. If the size is not right

You can return any piece within 60 days of delivery, personalised pieces included. Change-of-mind returns, including a size that turns out wrong, come with a free return label. Return the piece and order the size you want; the refund is sent within 7 days of receiving the return. The full steps are on our Returns & Exchanges Policy page, and if you spot a wrong size within 24 hours of ordering you can simply change it, as explained on our Cancel or Change an Order page.
