Our Size Charts show the size of the garment and NOT the size of the person.

Please determine the size you need by measuring one of your own garments that fits the way you want.

There are a few reasons for this:

• People frequently come up with really bad numbers when they measure themselves!
• It is fairly easy to measure a garment laid out flat on a table.  Button or zip it closed, and please don't use a garment that is stretchy.  Use a woven garment, not a knitted garment, please
• Some people want a very loose fit, maybe even when wearing multiple base layers
• Some people want a snug fit
• Some people seek a great deal of freedom of movement
• "Vanity sizing" is becoming more and more common ... that is ... a size 42 "relaxed fit" pair of pants is not actually a 42-inch waist ... probably at least 44 inches
• Sizing is variable across manufacturers and brands. There are no strict standards

We are always open to suggestion!

THANK YOU!
