Size Guide

Accurate UK / EU / US sizing for Men, Women, and Kids — tops, jackets & bottoms — plus a full illustrated how-to-measure guide.

All measurements are body measurements, not garment measurements.

How to Measure

Use a soft fabric measuring tape. Wear minimal clothing. Stand in a relaxed, natural posture. Get a helper for accuracy.

For Size Selection

Chest / Bust

Measure around the fullest part of your chest/bust, keeping the tape horizontal. Keep it snug but not tight.

Waist

Measure around your natural waistline — the narrowest point of your torso, roughly 1 inch above your belly button. Do not hold your breath.

Hips

Stand with feet together. Measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat, keeping the tape level. Typically 7–9 inches below the natural waist.

Inseam / Inside Leg

From the crotch point straight down to the floor (or desired trouser hem). Measure along the inner thigh with feet slightly apart.

For Custom Orders

Shoulder Width

Measure straight across the back from the outer point of one shoulder to the other, following the natural shoulder seam line.

Sleeve Length

From the top of the shoulder seam, over a slightly bent elbow, down to the wrist bone. Keep arm relaxed.

Body Length

From the highest point of the shoulder (at the neck) straight down to where you want the hem of the garment to end.

Thigh

Measure around the fullest part of your thigh, just below the crotch, keeping the tape snug but not tight.

Pro Tips for Accurate Measurements

Always use a flexible fabric measuring tape — never a rigid ruler or metal tape.
Keep the tape snug but comfortable. One finger should slip easily underneath.
Stand straight, feet together, arms relaxed by your sides.
If between sizes, size up for oversized/relaxed fit, size down for fitted styles.
For custom orders, always provide your full measurement spec — we manufacture to your exact measurements at no extra charge.
