Fit & Sizing Guide
Welcome to our fit and sizing guide. We believe great fit is the foundation of a wardrobe that works. This guide will help you measure yourself, understand our fit profiles, and choose the right size with confidence.
Why Fit Matters
Fit is the single most important factor in how your clothes look and feel. A well-fitted garment can make a simple outfit look intentional, while poor fit can undermine even the best fabrics. Our collection is designed with real bodies in mind, not runway models.
Fit affects comfort, movement, and confidence. Our garments are cut for everyday wear, and natural fabrics drape differently than synthetics. Once you understand your measurements, you can choose pieces that work with your body rather than against it.
Our Approach to Sizing
We design our garments with a modern, relaxed silhouette that allows for movement without looking baggy. Our sizing is consistent across the collection, so once you know your size in one piece, you can shop with confidence across the range. The result is clothing that feels natural from the first wear and works as part of a layered, everyday wardrobe.
How to Measure Yourself
Use a flexible tape measure and follow these steps. Take each measurement twice to be sure, and write down the numbers before checking the size charts below.
Measurement 01
Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape measure horizontal and snug but not tight. Breathe normally and take the measurement on the exhale.
Measurement 02
Measure around your natural waistline, which is typically just above your belly button. Keep the tape snug but comfortable, and don't suck in your stomach.
Measurement 03
Measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat, usually about 20cm below your waist. This is important for trousers and shorts.
Size Charts
Compare your measurements with the charts below. All measurements are in centimetres. If you are between sizes, see the advice under each chart.
Use your chest measurement to find your size. Our tops are designed with a relaxed fit, so if you're between sizes, we recommend sizing up for a more casual look or down for a closer fit.
| Size | Chest (cm) | NZ/AU | UK | US |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 86-91 | XS | XS | XS |
| S | 91-96 | S | S | S |
| M | 96-101 | M | M | M |
| L | 101-106 | L | L | L |
| XL | 106-111 | XL | XL | XL |
| XXL | 111-116 | XXL | XXL | XXL |
Use your waist measurement to find your size. Our trousers have a mid-rise and straight leg, so they sit comfortably at the natural waist.
| Size | Waist (cm) | NZ/AU | UK | US |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 28 | 71-74 | 28 | 28 | 28 |
| 30 | 76-79 | 30 | 30 | 30 |
| 32 | 81-84 | 32 | 32 | 32 |
| 34 | 86-89 | 34 | 34 | 34 |
| 36 | 91-94 | 36 | 36 | 36 |
| 38 | 96-99 | 38 | 38 | 38 |
| 40 | 101-104 | 40 | 40 | 40 |
Outerwear is designed to be layered over other garments, so we recommend choosing your usual size for a comfortable fit, or sizing up if you plan to wear thick layers underneath.
| Size | Chest (cm) | NZ/AU | UK | US |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 91-96 | XS | XS | XS |
| S | 96-101 | S | S | S |
| M | 101-106 | M | M | M |
| L | 106-111 | L | L | L |
| XL | 111-116 | XL | XL | XL |
| XXL | 116-121 | XXL | XXL | XXL |
Fit Profiles
Every garment in our collection is cut in one of three profiles. Understanding the difference helps you choose the feel you want.
Fit Profile
Our Regular fit is the most versatile. It skims the body without being tight, providing a clean silhouette that works for most body types. It's the default fit for our shirts and knitwear.
Fit Profile
Our Relaxed fit offers more room through the chest, waist, and hips. It's designed for comfort and layering, with a slightly dropped shoulder and a boxier silhouette. Perfect for casual weekends.
Fit Profile
Our Slim fit is closer to the body, with a narrower waist and higher armhole. It's not skin-tight but offers a more tailored appearance. Best for those who prefer a sharper look.
Body Type Considerations
These suggestions are a starting point. Your preferred fit also depends on how you like your clothes to feel.
Body Type
If you're tall and lean, Regular fit will give you a clean line without excess fabric. Avoid Slim fit if you have long arms, as sleeves may be too short. Consider Relaxed fit for layering.
Body Type
For broader shoulders and a narrower waist, Regular fit often works well. If you find shirts tight across the chest, consider sizing up or opting for Relaxed fit. Slim fit may be too restrictive.
Body Type
Relaxed fit is your friend. It provides room through the waist without looking sloppy. Avoid Slim fit, which will be too tight. Regular fit can work if you size up, but check the waist measurement.
Fabric and Fit
Different fibres behave differently. Here is what to expect from the fabrics we use most.
Fabric
Merino wool blends offer natural stretch and recovery, so garments maintain their shape well. They drape smoothly and resist wrinkles. Expect minimal shrinkage if washed according to care instructions.
Fabric
Organic cotton is breathable and comfortable, but it may shrink slightly after the first wash. We recommend sizing up if you're between sizes. It softens with wear and becomes more comfortable over time.
Fabric
Linen has a relaxed, breathable drape and naturally wrinkles. It doesn't stretch much, so choose your usual size for a comfortable fit. Linen garments are designed to be worn slightly loose.

If your measurements fall between two sizes, consider the fit you prefer. For a more relaxed look, size up. For a closer fit, size down. Also consider the fabric: cotton may shrink slightly, so size up if in doubt.
Our garments are pre-washed to minimize shrinkage. However, natural fibers like cotton and linen may shrink up to 3% if washed in hot water or dried on high heat. Follow care instructions for best results.
