How to Choose Your Size

Start with your measurements

Chest: Measure around the widest part of your chest, about 2 cm under the armpits.
Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your torso.
Hip: Measure around the widest part of your hips.
Sleeve or arm length: Measure with your arm slightly bent.
Inseam: Measure a similar pair of pants that fits well from crotch seam to hem.

Check the product fit

Slim fit is closer to the body and may feel more tailored.
Standard fit is designed for easy movement and everyday comfort.
Relaxed fit gives more room and may work better over heavier layers.
For insulated jackets, winter coats, and fleece layers, consider what you will wear underneath.

Between Sizes Advice

If your measurements fall between two sizes, choose the smaller size for a closer fit or the larger size for more room. For outerwear, hoodies, fleece, and winter layers, many shoppers prefer extra room for layering. For pants and shorts, prioritize waist comfort and hip movement first.

Product Detail Reminder

Size can vary by product type, fabric, silhouette, and intended fit. Always review the size, fit notes, and product details on the item page before ordering. If a product page includes specific model measurements or fit guidance, use that information together with this chart.
