Sizing Guide
We are firm believers that the clothing should fit you, not the other way round.
To assist you in choosing the best fit for you, below are measurements of our range when the items are laid flat - if applicable.
Please do remember that this is a guide only and the measurements provided may vary a little from garment to garment. If you are still not sure, we are here to help and can provide more specific measurements for you. Please reach out to us with your enquiry and we'll be more than happy to assist.
Our Collection is for everyone.
Caps
Your head, along with your feet, are the most sensitive to recognising if something is too snug or too loose.
A good hat should feel as though you aren't wearing it at all.
To measure, place a measuring tape around your head, around 1cm above your eye brow.
Knitwear
All our knitwear are made from 100% British Wool and approved by The British Wool Association, of which we are proud members of.
First, find the design you are after, we have a few! All unique and with their own story to tell.
Our Sizing (Small, Medium, Large etc) will give you a starting point as each jumper is graded consistently but each design has its own nuances. A waistband might be shorter, or it may have a double cuff. Every detail is here...
One tip that we would say is always remember to consider your height and arm length.
Collared Jumpers
Our Collared Jumpers are based on a 1936 pattern original in our collection. As such are so are designed to be worn more fitted. They are narrower 3 gauge to our heavier knits which make these perfect for wearing all year round.
Rollneck Jumpers
Pair text with an image to focus on your chosen product, collection, or blog post. Add details on availability, style, or even provide a review.
Cable Knit Rollnecks
Our Cable Knit Rollneck are based on a very specific design worn by Squadron Leader Howard 'Billy' Burton, Commanding Office of 616 Squadron. He was photographed wearing his on 21st September 1940 during the height of the Battle of Britain.

This is a 5 gauge cable knit
Cable Collared Jumper
This design is inspired by the jumper worn by Elvis in Jailhouse Rock in 1957 but in reality this style is timeless and similar can be see decades before (and after!)
The key to this designs uniqueness is the shorter body and the cable style, deliberately knitted to look as though it has been hand knitted.
Gansey Jumpers
One of the oldest designs in existance. If you time travelled back to the 1790s wearing a gansey, the folks around would recognise this jumper.
Synonymous with fishing communities along the British coast, this is just one of the types of 'ganseys'. Unique with its drop shoulder and box waist, it is great oversized or tightly fitted.
Crew Neck Jumpers
The traditional crew neck pattern has been directly inspired from two original examples in our collection.
The unique crew neck shape and cut is directly reproduced from an early 20th century Royal Naval pattern jumper, while the deep waistband and double cuff design is directly inspired from an original mid 20th century varsity jumper.
This is a 5 gauge knit.
