How to Find Your Size Without a Tape Measure

White shirt laid flat

Size labels don't agree with each other. A medium from one brand is a large somewhere else, and measuring your own chest tells you less than you'd think — it doesn't account for how a garment is meant to sit.

So don't measure yourself. Measure something you already own and like the fit of.

The one-minute method

Find the garment in your wardrobe that fits the way you want ours to fit. Lay it flat on a table, smooth out the wrinkles, and take two numbers:

  • Chest: armpit seam to armpit seam, straight across. Don't stretch the fabric.
  • Length: the base of the collar straight down to the hem.

Double the chest number — that's the garment's full circumference. Now compare it to the chart on the product page. Whichever size is closest is your size.

Our cuts run boxy

Everything in the range is cut boxy: straight through the body, dropped shoulder, no taper at the waist. It's deliberate, and it changes how you should size.

If you like a close fit, take your usual size — the boxy cut gives you the room without going up. If you want it oversized, size up once. Going up two sizes gets you length you probably don't want, because the body lengthens along with the width.

Between two sizes

Size down for shirts and tees, up for hoodies. A shirt that's slightly snug reads as intentional; a hoodie that's slightly snug just looks small. The hoodie is also the piece you'll layer, so the extra room earns its keep.

Shoes and hats

Footwear runs true — order your normal size. If you're a half size, go up. Our hats are one size with an internal band, which covers roughly 56–59cm.

Still unsure

Tell us what you own and how it fits, and we'll tell you which size to order. That's a faster conversation than a return.
