Size guide
Body measurements in centimetres and inches, with notes on how the cuts fit. If you are unsure between two sizes, contact the team; we know each piece in detail.
How to measure
Measure over your underwear, not over clothing, with a soft tape held snug against the body but not pulled tight. The tape should be parallel to the floor at all points.
- Chest. Around the fullest part of the chest, under the arms.
- Waist. Around the natural waistline, which is the narrowest part of the torso, usually just above the navel.
- Hip. Around the fullest part of the seat with feet together.
- Inseam. From the crotch seam straight down to the bottom of the ankle bone.
- Sleeve. From the centre back of the neck, across the shoulder, and down to the wrist bone with arm slightly bent.
If you are between two sizes, size up for relaxed and oversized cuts, and size down for tailored or slim cuts. Garment measurements on each product page are taken flat and unstretched; add 2 to 3 cm of ease for a comfortable fit.
Tops, shirts, and knitwear
Sizing applies to T-shirts, shirts, sweatshirts, knitwear, and lightweight outer layers. Garment measurements are body measurements; pieces are designed with an ease allowance appropriate to each style.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 86 to 91 | 34 to 36 | 71 to 76 | 28 to 30 | 66 |
| S | 91 to 97 | 36 to 38 | 76 to 81 | 30 to 32 | 68 |
| M | 97 to 102 | 38 to 40 | 81 to 86 | 32 to 34 | 70 |

| XXL | 112 to 117 | 44 to 46 | 97 to 102 | 38 to 40 | 76 |
Length is back centre, measured from the highest point of the shoulder seam to the bottom hem in size M. Other sizes scale proportionally.

Stretch denim and lightweight chinos may run slightly larger than rigid pieces. Each product page shows the exact composition.
Outerwear
Coats and jackets are sized to be worn over a knitwear layer. If you usually wear only a T-shirt underneath, consider sizing down one step.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 96 to 101 | 38 to 40 | 44 | 62 | 78 |
