How to Measure Yourself

All measurements below are body measurements in inches and centimetres. For the comfiest fit, measure an item you already own and love, or take these three quick measurements.

Chest

Wrap the tape under your arms, around the fullest part of your chest, keeping it level and snug but not tight.

Length

Measure from the highest point of the shoulder (next to the neck) straight down to where you'd like the hem to sit.

Sleeve

From the shoulder seam, measure down the outside of the arm to just past the wrist bone.

The African Wear Collection is cut fuller and more traditionally than Western sizing — most pieces follow the same S–XXL chart above, but sleeves and wrap points vary by style. For the best fit (or a fully custom measurement), message us before ordering and we'll guide you through it.
