How to measure
The easiest way to choose a size is to measure a similar garment you already own and that fits you well, then compare it with the chart. Lay it flat on a table, smooth it out, and measure:
- Chest width: straight across the front, from armpit to armpit, about 1 inch below the armholes. Double it to get the full chest circumference of the garment.
- Body length: from the highest point of the shoulder, next to the collar, straight down to the bottom hem.
- Sleeve length (t-shirts): from the shoulder seam to the end of the sleeve.
- Sleeve length (long sleeves, hoodies and sweatshirts): from the centre of the back of the collar, over the shoulder, to the end of the cuff.
All measurements are of the garment, not of your body, and are in inches (1 inch = 2.54 cm).
Which chart applies to my item?
The product page names the product type, and the “View size chart” link next to the size options opens the chart for that exact item. The charts below are grouped by product type. If a product page does not show a size chart, contact us or message the shop before you order.

Fit tips
- Unisex styles are cut straight, with a relaxed fit. Many women choose one size smaller than their usual women’s size for a closer fit.
- Women’s t-shirts are cut slimmer through the body and are shorter than unisex t-shirts in the same size.
- Between two sizes? Choose the larger one for a relaxed fit, or if you plan to tumble dry — cotton garments can shrink slightly when dried on heat.
- Hoodies and sweatshirts are designed to be worn loose. For an oversized look, choose one or two sizes up.
- Buying a gift? A unisex t-shirt in the recipient’s usual size is the safest choice.
Size tolerance
Garments are cut and sewn by hand, so each measurement can vary slightly — by up to 1 inch, as shown in each chart. A garment within that tolerance matches its chart. If a garment you receive is more than 1 inch out from its chart, it is covered by our Refund Policy: we reprint it in the right size or refund you at no cost.
If it doesn’t fit
If a garment matches its size chart but does not fit you, you can return it within 30 days of delivery under our Returns & Exchanges Policy, as long as it is not personalised and is unworn and unwashed. Personalised items are made only for you, so please check the chart carefully before ordering them.
