Size Guide
A label from the 90s does not mean what a label means today. That is why we list the size a piece actually wears — and why every piece comes with flat measurements, taken in cm with the garment lying flat.
The most reliable way to use them
Take a piece you own that fits the way you like. Lay it flat, measure the same points, and compare. Two minutes with a tape measure beat any size chart.
Tops — shirts, sweaters, jackets
- Length: from the shoulder seam straight down to the hem.
- Width (pit to pit): across the chest, from armpit to armpit.
Pants — jeans, trackpants, shorts
- Length: along the outer leg, from waistband to hem.
- Width (waist): across the waistband, measured one-sided.
One-sided means the tape runs across the front only — double it for the full circumference.
What label sizes actually measure
Measured across 1,300+ tops listed in this shop, this is what the labels turn out to mean:
| Label | Pit to pit (typical) | Length (typical) |
|---|---|---|
| S | 47–53 cm | 64 cm |
| M | 51–57 cm | 66 cm |
| L | 54–60 cm | 69 cm |
| XL | 57–63 cm | 70 cm |
| XXL | 60–67 cm | 72 cm |
The ranges overlap — that's the point. Two pieces both labelled L can be two modern sizes apart, which is why every product page shows its own numbers instead of a chart.
Label size vs. fit
Product pages show the size on the label and the fit it corresponds to today. When in doubt, go by the fit line — it tells you how the piece actually wears.
