Size Guide

Every piece is hand-framed, so measurements are given as garment dimensions. Lay a sweater you love flat and compare — that is the most reliable way to size a knit.

All figures are finished-garment measurements, taken flat, after washing, steaming and blocking. Rib cuff and bottom rib are 3 in on every size. Fit is a relaxed vintage cut — broad shoulder, roomy chest, slightly shorter body.

How to measure

Pit to pit

Flat, armpit seam to armpit seam across the chest.

Chest

Full circumference — pit to pit doubled.

Length

Highest point of the shoulder (HPS) straight down to the hem.

Shoulder

Seam to seam across the back of the shoulders.

Sleeve

From the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff.

Armhole

Depth of the armhole, measured straight.

Bicep

Upper-arm width laid flat.

Ribs

Cuff and hem ribs are 3 in on every size.

The fit

Relaxed & vintage

Broad shoulders with a slight drop, a wide chest and a relatively short body — roomy and fairly straight through the torso, never long and skinny.

Sleeves

Full through the upper arm, tapering gradually toward the cuff.

Hem

The bottom rib pulls the hem in slightly for a subtle vintage blouson shape.

Sizing tip

Between sizes? The cut is roomy — size down for a cleaner fit, stay true for the full vintage drape.

Women’s — Cropped

The same dense, heavyweight 3-D knit, cut shorter and slightly shaped. A relaxed cropped fit — boxy through the chest, hitting around the natural waist (not a micro-crop), with a slightly dropped shoulder and a full sleeve tapering into the cuff. The bottom rib pulls in gently. Priced at $500 (less material than the full-length cut); 2XL and 3XL are a touch more.

All figures are finished-garment measurements, taken flat, after washing, steaming, relaxing and blocking. Bottom rib is 2.25 in and cuff rib 2.5 in on every size.

Cropped, not tiny

The body is shortened to the natural waist / just above the high hip — the vintage cropped look, never a bolero. Master sample is the Medium at a 19.5 in body length.

Structured & relaxed

Roomy chest volume and slightly dropped shoulders are kept — only the body length is cropped. Not a slim, fitted women’s pullover.

Full sleeves

Full through the upper arm, tapering gradually into the cuff — same proportion as the signature cut.

Sizing tip

The fit is relaxed and boxy. Size down for a cleaner crop, stay true for the full vintage drape.

Bedding & Throws

The sweater, reimagined for the home — the same hand-framed, dense multicolor 3-D knit, in a throw and in Queen and King bedding. A heavy, high-density knit (not chunky), finished and boxed.
