Garment Size Information
The way in which clothing is sized differs between countries. In New Zealand the sizes of our clothing and footwear are probably quite different from what you might normally wear. For this reason, it is very important that you study our sizing charts carefully to find out what size you would wear in our sizing. Before you look at the size charts, please read below about the Comments Section.
The Comments Section
This is a blank area in the check out area, which you can use to communicate any concerns you may have about sizing directly to us.
It would be very helpful to us if you could advise us in the Comments Section:
It would be very helpful to us if you could advise us in the Comments Section:
- Your actual measurements.
- Whether you would like your garments to fit closely or loosely.
- Any unusual physical features that you may have that could influence the fitting of a garment.
ie: - if you are extra tall or short.
- if your arms are of an unusual length.
- any other relevant information you may have about sizing.
Please do take the time to complete the Comments Section as this will help us provide you with the correctly sized garment.
How to Find Out What Size You Require
- The Chest
Measure around the fullest part of your chest under your arms and across the back. The chest measurement is the most important measurement for knitwear, jackets, vests and coats. - The Waist
This measurement is the key measurement for men’s long leg underwear. Please measure loosely around the natural waistline. - The Hips
Please measure around the fullest part of the seat about 22 cm or 9" down from the waist. This measure is the important measure for women’s long leg underwear. - Write down your measurements and then study our sizing charts to find out what size your measurements most closely match.
This size will be your size when you order from us unless:
(a) the information about the style you have selected recommends that you choose a larger or smaller size than usual on account of the way in which that style is made
(b) you like to wear your clothes more fitting than usual go down a size
(c) you like to wear your clothes looser than the standard fit go up a size
(d) occasionally we may, based upon the specialised knowledge of our garments and the information you have supplied us about your size, recommend that you order a different size from that you have selected. In such a case, we will e-mail you to discuss our recommendation and gain your approval.

It would be helpful to us if, in addition to studying this chart, you could supply us with the measurement of the length of your foot from the heel to the end of the longest toe. This will enable us to check to see whether the size of slipper you have ordered is correct.
Please put this measurement in the Comments Section
