Size Guides
Each of our garments is hand-sewn with care, so you may notice small differences in measurements—typically within 0.5 to 1 inch.

"What do you mean when you say "half chest" on your size charts? How should I measure that?"
We use the industry standard half chest naming for our size charts because there are two ways of measuring your chest, and your body in general:
1. Half Chest: measure your garment from armpit to armpit.
2. Full Chest: measure your full chest circumference.
This way we prevent any confusion when measuring garments. Whenever you see a "half chest" or "half waist" measure, all you need to do is lay your favorite garment flat and measure it from seam to seam. See examples of this below! :)
Make sure to get the correct sleeve measure for your garment!
The first thing you need to do is identify if a garment has a normal sleeve cut or a raglan sleeve.
1. Normal sleeve: the sleeve starts at the end of the shoulder. You will have to measure from that point to the end of the sleeve, including cuffs. Our size charts will include the shoulder width in it when our garments use normal sleeves.
2. Raglan sleeve: this type of sleeve starts at the collar. You will have to measure your sleeve from the collar to the end of the sleeve, including cuffs.
"My waist line lines up with your size L but my leg length and hip measures to your size M. What should I do?"
You should choose the size you will be most comfortable with. When in doubt, please follow the size that fits both your waist and hip, as the leg length can be corrected by your local tailor.
Our pants and joggers all have elastic waistbands so it is important they fit so that they are not tight and end up hurting you. From there, size up if you want an oversized look.
Note that we do not recommend to size down if our garments do not have spandex in them, as they will not be elastic enough to fit your size.
The measurements are taken on the garment laid flat from seam to seam, not on the body. Find a jacket that you like and lay it flat.
1. BODY LENGTH: It is measured from the highest point where the body meets the collar, to the base of the garment.
2. HALF CHEST: It is measured from armpit to armpit (not the full circumference, also known as full chest).
3. HALF WAIST: It is measured at the bottom of the garment, from seam to seam (not the full circumference, also known as full waist). Note: This jacket doesn't have a straight side seam, which means the waist measure will be smaller than the chest measure, as seen on the drawing.
4. SLEEVE LENGTH: This type of jacket has a raglan sleeve, which means the sleeve starts at the collar and ends at the cuff. Measure from collar to end of the cuff.
