SIZE CHARTS

Below we list the measurements of each style. Please note that all measurements (in cms and inches) can vary +/-3 cms. Jersey-knit Merino is incredibly elastic, so you may find yourself taking a size smaller than you are used to. On average we would suggest allowing a stretch factor of 2 inches/5cms, so that if you have a 40inch chest, our medium size would be the best fit for you.

"Baselayer cut" is designed to hug the body and is also long in the body allowing them to be tucked well down into baselayer or other pants. Midlayers are cut more loosely for layering over baselayers.

The Chocolate Fish TARANAKI 190 range is "Baselayer Cut", except for our Taranaki Polo shirt, which is cut a little more loosely.

Our TEMATA 260 Midlayer comes in two style. The zipneck is a midweight zipneck designed for layering with raglan sleeves and is therefore looser under the arm. The Hooded Pull-over has a set-in sleeve so is a closer fit under the arm.

*Sleeve measurements: Please note that most other brands measure sleeve length from centre back to wrist. This measurement does not reflect the true sleeve length as body measurements skew the result, and you can end up with an overwide body and short sleeves! For set-in sleeves we measure from underarm to cuff, and for raglan sleeves we measure from the top of the shoulder at the neck to cuff.

How to measure:
Measure around the fullest part of the chest, under the arms and going over the shoulder blade.
Measure down the back from the neck band to hem.
Set-in sleeve styles. Measure from underarm to wrist.
Raglan sleeve styles. Measure from top of shoulder at neck to wrist.
Inseam. Inside leg measurement to ankle.
Waist: please note that the elasticated waistband can stretch up to 3"/8cm.
Hip: For Unisex leggings and boxers, women may find that because the waist/hip ratio of the boxers and leggings is narrow, they may take one size in a top but a size larger in the boxers and leggings.
