Size chart

All figures below are body measurements, not garment measurements. Sizes follow standard Italian sizing (IT 38–46). Measure yourself, compare with the table for the category you are shopping, and choose the size your measurements fall into.

Between two sizes? Size up. This applies especially to fitted styles and knitwear. For coats and jackets you plan to wear over a jumper, size up as well.

Jackets and coats

Trench coats, wool coats, blazers, bombers, leather and suede jackets, capes.

S 40 36 8 4 86–90 cm 68–72 cm 38.5 cm 59 cm

XL 46 42 14 10 98–102 cm 80–84 cm 43 cm 62 cm

Measure your chest over a fine knit, as you would wear the coat. Oversized and belted styles allow more room; fitted blazers and cropped jackets less — size up if you are between two sizes or plan to layer.

Tops and knitwear

Shirts, blouses, T-shirts, knitwear, cardigans, vests, tops and two-piece sets.

Sleeve length applies to long-sleeved styles only. Knitwear and ribbed pieces stretch and sit close to the body; oversized and cropped styles are cut wider by design.

How to measure

Wear close-fitting clothing or just underwear. Use a soft tape measure and keep it level and snug, never tight.

BustAround the fullest part of the bust, tape level across the back.
ChestAround the fullest part, measured over a fine knit as you would wear the coat.
WaistAround the narrowest part of the torso, roughly 2–3 cm above the navel.
ShouldersFrom the outer edge of one shoulder, straight across the back, to the other.
SleeveFrom the shoulder point, along a slightly bent arm, to the wrist.

This chart is general guidance based on standard Italian women's sizing. Fit varies by fabric, cut and style, and every garment has slightly different ease built in, so individual product pages may show small variations.
