Size guide

Our pieces are cut relaxed. If you are between sizes and want a closer fit, take the smaller one. Measurements are in inches; the values below are illustrative and should be replaced with the brand's measured specification before launch.

Body measurements

Take these on your body, over light clothing.

XL	41″	34″	43″	35″

Garment measurements — tops and shirts

The Everyday Tee, Relaxed Shirt, Woven Shirt and Ribbed Longsleeve, measured flat, seam to seam. Chest is doubled for the full circumference. The Ribbed Longsleeve is a close rib: it measures roughly 1″ narrower in the chest and stretches to fit.
Size	Chest (flat)	Body length	Shoulder	Sleeve length
XS	19″	26″	17″	8″
S	20″	27″	18″	8.5″
M	21.5″	28″	19″	9″

XL	18″	13″	32″	7″

Garment measurements — dresses

The Linen Summer Dress, measured flat and doubled for the full circumference. Cut long and loose: the hem falls mid-calf on a 5′7″ frame.
Size	Bust (flat)	Waist (flat)	Hip (flat)	Front length
XS	18″	18″	20″	45″
S	19″	19″	21″	46″

L	22″	22″	24″	48″
XL	23.5″	23.5″	25.5″	49″

Washed linen relaxes with wear and shrinks a little on a hot wash — wash cold and the measurements above hold.

Garment measurements — outerwear and knitwear

The Canvas Overshirt, Rigid Denim Jacket, Merino Crew Knit and Lightweight Hoodie, measured flat. These are cut to layer: they carry roughly 2″ more across the chest than the tops table, so take your usual size to wear one over a knit.
Size	Chest (flat)	Body length	Shoulder	Sleeve length
XS	21″	26″	18″	24″
S	22″	27″	19″	24.5″
M	23.5″	28″	20″	25″
L	25″	29″	21″	25.5″
XL	26.5″	30″	22″	26″

The Rigid Denim Jacket is unwashed 12oz denim: expect it to shrink about half a size on the first wash and to feel stiff for a few wears. If you want it fitted from day one, take the smaller size; if you plan to layer a knit under it, take your usual one. The Merino Crew Knit is fine-gauge and sits closer than the canvas and denim pieces.

One size

Two pieces are made in a single size, so there is nothing to choose at checkout.

Classic Cap — unstructured six-panel, 22″–24″ head circumference on the brass slider, crown depth 4.5″, brim 2.75″.
Lambswool Scarf — 180cm x 30cm (71″ x 12″) plus a hand-tied fringe of about 6cm at each end.

How to measure

Chest or bust: around the fullest part, tape level under the arms, arms down.
Waist: around the narrowest part of the torso, one finger under the tape.
Hips: around the fullest part, roughly 8″ below the waist.
Sleeve: from the centre back of the neck, over the shoulder, to the wrist.
Front length (dresses): from the highest point of the shoulder straight down to the hem.
Head (the cap): around the forehead, just above the ears.
Compare against a garment you already own and like — flat measurements are the fastest check.
