How to take measurements

Use a soft tape measure. Measure on bare skin or close-fitting garments. Keep tape parallel to the floor and relaxed — not tight.

  1. Chest / Bust: around the fullest part.
  2. Waist: natural waistline, usually above the belly button.
  3. Hips: around the fullest part of the hips.
  4. Inseam: crotch to ankle (for pants).

Record numbers in centimetres for Canada; our chart includes both cm and inches.

If between sizes, choose the larger for layering or the smaller for a closer fit depending on the garment cut.

Try-on & return tips

Always try garments standing in front of a mirror. Check shoulder seam alignment, sleeve length, and how the garment sits across the chest and hips.

  • Layering: add 1 size for bulky sweaters/outerwear when shopping online.
  • Stretch fabrics: account for give; less tolerance in woven fabrics.
  • Return window: read product page for return instructions and free return eligibility.

Fabric & fit behavior

Different fibers affect fit: cotton breathes and softens; wool may felt if sized tightly; synthetics often hold shape but can feel rigid. Our product pages list fabric composition and care — use that as a first fit cue.

  • Eco cotton: softens after first wash; allow slight shrinkage on first cycle.
  • Recycled polyester: minimal shrinkage; consider fit for layering.
  • Blends: follow care label to maintain drape and fit.

Sustainability notes: where applicable we list certifications and recycled content on product pages.

Fit FAQ & common scenarios

If you plan to layer, choose the larger size. For a tailored look, choose the smaller if the measurements are close and the fabric has stretch.

Use our chart above: EU 40 ≈ CA/US M. Always check actual chest/waist measurements rather than relying solely on numeric conversions.

*** — men's sizing typically measures chest/inseam differently. Use gender-specific charts and product fit notes on each product page.

Quick fit tips

  • Measure twice, record in centimetres, and compare to our chart.
  • Check model stats on the product page for reference (height, measurements, size worn).
  • Read fabric notes — some items are intended oversized or cropped.
