F.A.Q.

JACKETS AND SHIRTS

For Jackets and Shirts. we ask you to measure your Chest area. For best results, use a flexible tailors measuring tape, and have a friend measure you while standing. If you don't have a tape measure, use a string, then measure that.

To MEASURE YOUR CHEST, pull the tape measure gently taught (don't pull to tight) around the circumference of your chest at the nipples right under your armpits, where your chest is at its fullest. Look forward, exhale to your relaxed natural position, and record the measurement in centimeters.

Because everyone has different proportions, its best to measure your waist as well as your chest. You may want to choose a larger size based on your waist measurements. For example if your waist fits into the Large size bracket and your chest fits into the Medium size bracket the Large size will fit you best.

To MEASURE YOUR WAIST, pull the tape gently taught around your waist at your belly button. Look forward, exhale to your relaxed natural position, and record the measurement in centimeters.

The next step is to apply your measurements to the chart below. Find what range fits you best. For example if your chest size is 100cm, a size M (94-102) would be a nice snug fit. If your chest size is 102cm, size M would be snug and fitted, and size L (102-110) would be a loose roomier fit.

Size	XS	S	M	L	XL

Chest Range (cm)	78-86	86-94	94-102	102-110	110-118

Waist Range (cm)	60-67	67-75	75-82	82-90	90-98

PANTS

For Jeans and Pants, we ask you to measure you Hip/Waist Line. For best results, use a flexible tailors measuring tape, and have a friend measure you while standing. If you don't have a tape measure, use a string, then measure that.

To measure your Hip/Waist Line, pull the tape measure gently taught around your waist, 10cm (4 inches) below your belly button. Look forward, exhale to your relaxed natural position, and record the measurement in centimeters. If you like your pants a bit looser, or to allow for a wee bit of breathing room, leave enough room for one finger to fit between the tape measure and your body.

The next step is to apply your measurements to the chart below. Find what range fits you best. For example, if your Hip range is 88cm then you would be a size 32. If your Hip range is 92cm, you would be a snug (fitted) size 33, or a loose (roomier) size 34.

Depending on what your measurements and personal preferences are, use you judgment to choose a more fitted or roomier cut.

Size	28	29	30	31	32	33	34	36

Hip Range (cm) (measure around waist 10cm below belly button)	76-79	80-82	82-84	84-87	87-89	89-92	92-94	94-100

BOOT SIZING

What's my shoe size?

There are only two reliable ways to tell:

•	Measure both of your feet, then use that to find your European sizing standard.
•	If you don't have a ruler, download and print our shoe sizing chart. But print at 100% scale (not resize to fit), or it won't work. If you do this right, you can skip everything below.

I already know my shoe size. Why should I measure my feet?

Believe us, the fit varies from one manufacturer to another, and from style to style. You can't trust the number size of a shoe to be an accurate reflection of your actual foot size... you need to measure. Don't just order the same size as your Nikes. Don't convert from other size systems. Just measure!

Ok, so how do I measure my feet?

You'll need the following:
•	A sheet of paper
•	A pen (or pencil)
•	A ruler (or measuring tape)
•	The socks you'll wear with the boots
•	A chair
Keep in mind ...
•	Feet expand slightly through the day, so measure in the evening.
•	The metric system rules. Use CM if you can, though inches are fine.
•	It's easier to have someone else trace your foot.
•	If your feet are very wide or very narrow, use the instructions below to measure the width as well, and include that measurement in the "checkout notes" during checkout. Otherwise, only length is needed.

Ok, I'm ready!

1	Sit on a chair, and place your foot firmly on the piece of paper. Tilt your leg slightly forward so you can easily trace your heel.
2	Trace an outline of the foot with a pen held perpendicular (straight up and down) to the paper at all times. Make sure the pen is always snug against the foot.
3	Do this for each foot.
4	Draw lines on all sides of the tracing, like in the second drawing.
5	Measure the distance from heel to toe, and from side to side.
6	Subtract the width of the pen from each measurement. This correction gives you the actual length and width of your foot.
7	(Or, you can place your foot between two flat, solid objects such as bricks, then measure the length and width between the bricks. In this case you get the actual length and width immediately and do not need to subtract anything.)
8	Check the chart below, and find your European Standard size. Left and right feet often differ slightly, so use the measurement for the larger foot. If the difference is more than 1/2 cm (or ~1/4"), no problem. Send us both measurements.
