A general guide to our sizing. Where a product lists its own garment measurements in its description, those take priority over this chart. If a product says it runs small, order one size up.
How to measure
The most reliable way to choose is to measure a garment you own that fits well. Lay it flat, smooth it out and measure:
- Chest: straight across, armpit to armpit, then double it.
- Length: from the highest point of the shoulder to the hem.
- Sleeve: from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff.
Compare those numbers with the garment measurements on the product page. To measure your body instead, measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape level.

- Breathable comfort: a soft knitted feel against the skin that helps manage sweat on longer walks.
- Athletic fit: a snug, mid-calf cut with ribbed cuff that stays put inside boots and trainers.
- Versatile: hiking, cycling, fishing, skiing, dog walks and the daily British drizzle.
