Use the Bulwark sizing information below to help select the best fit. Bulwark sizing varies by garment family, so use the chart that matches the type of garment you are purchasing. Product-specific size availability may vary.
Bulwark Men's Work & Long Sleeve Shirts
For traditional Bulwark work, uniform, and button-down shirts. Measure around the fullest part of the chest and around the neck where the collar sits.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chest (in.) | 34–36 | 38–40 | 42–44 | 46–48 | 50–52 | 54–56 | 58–60 | 62–64 |

Fit note: Bulwark identifies fit on individual products. For example, some work shirts are labeled Relaxed Fit while certain Hi-Visibility work shirts are labeled Regular Fit. Use the product-specific fit designation along with the body measurements above.
Bulwark Men's Henleys, T-Shirts & Knit Shirts
Bulwark knit garments use a different chest reference than traditional woven work shirts.
| Measurement | XS | S | M | L | XL | 2XL | 3XL |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chest (in.) | 33–35 | 36–38 | 39–41 | 43–45 | 47½–49½ | 52–54 | 56½–58½ |
Important: Bulwark T-shirts, Henleys, base layers, and specialty knits can have product-specific size ranges. Use this as a general knit reference and check the size choices shown on the individual product.
Bulwark Men's Outerwear
For jackets and outer layers, allow enough room for the clothing that will normally be worn underneath.
| Size | XS | S | M | L | XL | 2XL | 3XL |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chest / Numeric Range | 33–34 | 36–38 | 40–42 | 44–46 | 48–50 | 52–54 | 56–58 |
Layering: Bulwark outerwear is designed as a protective outer layer. If the garment will routinely be worn over bulky FR layers, account for that clothing when selecting your size.
Bulwark Men's Coveralls
Bulwark men's coveralls are commonly sold by numeric chest size. Current styles are available in Regular and Long body lengths, depending on the product.
| Numeric Size | 32 | 34 | 36 | 38 | 40 | 42 | 44 | 46 | 48 | 50 | 52 | 54 | 56 | 58 | 60 | 62 | 64 | 66 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chest Range | 30½–32 | 32½–34 | 34½–36 | 36½–38 | 38½–40 | 40½–42 | 42½–44 | 44½–46 | 46½–48 | 48½–50 | 50½–52 | 52½–54 | 54½–56 | 56½–58 | 58½–60 | 60½–62 | 62½–64 | 64½–66 |
| Max. Waist | 30½ | 32½ | 34½ | 36½ | 38½ | 40½ | 42½ | 44½ | 46½ | 48½ | 50½ | 52½ | 54½ | 56½ | 58½ | 60½ | 62½ | 64½ |
Choose by the larger measurement: If your waist measurement requires a larger size than your chest, select the size based on your waist.
Body length: Short approximately 5'3"–5'7"; Regular approximately 5'7"–5'11"; Long approximately 5'11"–6'3"; Extra Long approximately 6'3"–6'5". Not every length is offered in every style. Some Bulwark coveralls are designed to be worn over other clothing and fit over work boots.
Bulwark Women's Shirts
Women's work and uniform shirt sizing is based primarily on bust and waist. Bulwark women's shirts may use alpha sizing even when sizing references also show corresponding numeric sizes.
| Numeric Size | 4 | 6 | 8 | 10 | 12 | 14 | 16 | 18 | 20 | 22 | 24 | 26 | 28 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bust | 32½–33 | 33½–34 | 34½–35 | 35½–36 | 36½–37 | 38–39 | 39½–40½ | 41½–42½ | 43½–44½ | 45½–46½ | 47½–48½ | 49½–50½ | 51½–52½ |
| Waist | 24–24½ | 25–25½ | 26–26½ | 27–28 | 28½–29½ | 30–31 | 31½–32½ | 33–34½ | 35–36½ | 37–38½ | 39–40½ | 41–42½ | 43–44½ |
Women's fit: Bulwark women's-specific shirts are shaped differently from men's styles. Current products may include back darts, underarm gussets, or other features designed for a women's fit, so avoid substituting the men's chart when a women's style is available.
Bulwark Women's Outerwear
For women's jackets and outer layers, begin with the women's bust measurement above and account for the FR layers normally worn underneath.
Women's outerwear sizing: Bulwark outerwear size availability varies by jacket. Use the women's body measurements above together with the alpha sizes offered on the individual product.
Bulwark FR Hi-Visibility Sizing
Bulwark Hi-Visibility is a product family rather than one universal fit. Use the underlying garment type to choose the correct sizing chart.
| Hi-Vis Garment | Use This Size Reference | Sizing Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Work / Button-Down Shirt | Men's Work Shirt or Women's Shirt chart above | Men's Hi-Visibility work shirts use product-specific fit and size ranges. Women's Hi-Visibility work shirts should use the women's sizing reference. |
| Hi-Vis T-Shirt / Henley | Men's Henleys & Knits chart above | Hi-Vis knit styles may offer Regular and Long body lengths and product-specific alpha-size ranges. |
| Hi-Vis Jacket | Men's or Women's Outerwear sizing above | Current lined and insulated styles may be offered in alpha sizing with Regular and Long options on applicable products. |
| Hi-Vis / Reflective Coverall | Men's Coverall chart above | Reflective-trim coveralls use numeric sizing and may be designed to be worn over other clothing. |
Hi-Vis fit tip: Do not automatically size up just because a garment is Hi-Visibility. Size according to the underlying garment category and the layers you will wear underneath. Product-specific size and body-length options should take priority.
How to Measure
Chest/Bust: Measure around the fullest part of the chest or bust, keeping the tape level.
Neck: Measure around the base of the neck where a shirt collar normally sits.
Waist: Measure around the natural waist without pulling the tape too tightly.
Sleeve: Measure from the center back of the neck across the shoulder and down the arm to the wrist.
