Size guide

Measurements taken flat, from a finished garment.

Measurements come from the maker's spec sheet, in centimetres, taken flat from a finished garment. Width is seam to seam under the arms; length runs from the highest point of the shoulder straight down.

The surest way is to go by the measurements. Lay a T-shirt that fits you well flat, measure the width under the arms from seam to seam and the length from the highest point of the shoulder down, then take the size whose numbers are closest.
