Garment measurements, laid flat, in centimeters. A half-measurement reads doubled: 54 cm of half-chest makes 108 cm around.
How to measure yourself
Chest
The tape goes under the arms, over the fullest part, and comes back flat across the back. Breathe normally, do not pull tight.
Waist
At the narrowest point, above the navel. For low-rise jeans, measure where you actually wear them.
Front length
From the top of the shoulder, next to the collar, down to the hem. This is what the « front length » column shows in our charts.
Sleeve length
From the shoulder seam to the edge of the cuff, arm slightly bent. On a T-shirt, the short sleeve is measured the same way.
The house chart
Our average measurements, taken across the whole catalog. A model may differ: its own chart is what counts, and the tool above shows it to you.

Choosing well, by family
Jeans & pants
Our jean sizes are American inches: a 32 corresponds to a stated waist of 32 inches. The chart gives the half-waist measured flat: double it to get the actual circumference of the garment.
On a heavy 15 oz cloth, the waistband hardly relaxes: take your actual waist measurement, with two to four centimeters of ease. On raw, unsanforized denim, expect one to one and a half centimeters of shrinkage at the first wash: so it is better not to size down.
Between two sizes on a straight cut, take the larger. A waist can be taken in; a thigh that is too tight cannot be fixed.
Jackets, blousons & coats
A jacket is worn over something. Our measurements are those of the garment laid flat: add four to six centimeters of ease to your chest measurement if you wear it over a knit, more over a thick sweater.
It is the only family where we advise rounding up when in doubt. A shoulder that is too narrow restricts the arm and cannot be altered.
Shirts & overshirts
A shirt is chosen on the half-chest and the front length. Take your usual size to wear it tucked into your trousers.
An overshirt is a light jacket: if you plan to wear it over a thick T-shirt or a knit, go up a size. Do the same for a deliberately loose look.
T-shirts, sweaters & sweatshirts
Look at the front length as much as the chest: it is what decides the look. Our tops are cut straight, without shaping.
Washed cotton knits and jerseys move little, but a first wash at thirty degrees is safer than a hot wash, especially for length.
Beanies, belts & accessories
Beanies are one size. Belts are chosen by the waist measurement of the trousers you wear, not by your bare waist.
If in doubt about an accessory, write to us: we measure the piece and reply within the day.
