Size guide

All measurements are body measurements, not garment measurements. Take them over a fitted shirt and trouser, with the tape snug but not tight. If you fall between two sizes, choose the larger one for relaxed fits and the smaller for tailored.

How to measure

Chest. Around the fullest part, under the arms, tape parallel to the floor.
Waist. Around the natural waist (just above the hip bone), not where you wear your trousers.
Hip. Around the fullest part of the seat, feet together.
Inseam. From the crotch seam to the bottom of the ankle, along the inside leg.
Neck. Around the base of the neck, with one finger between tape and skin.
Sleeve. From the centre back of the neck, over the shoulder, down to the wrist with arm slightly bent.
