Five minutes, done right
Before you touch the charts
Nearly every exchange we process traces back to a rushed measurement, not a wrong chart. These four habits - the same ones our tailors use - make your numbers trustworthy.
No tape at home? A length of string and a wooden ruler work exactly as well - measure with the string, then lay it flat.
- 01
Use a soft tape, held snug
A tailor's tape, not a metal one. It should sit against the body without pressing in - you want the number the cloth will live at, not the number you can squeeze to.
- 02
Measure over thin clothing
A t-shirt is fine; a sweater is not. For the daura suruwal, measure as you'd dress underneath it on the day - traditionally a light cotton layer.
- 03
Borrow a second pair of hands
Chest and shoulder measurements taken alone drift by an inch or more. Stand naturally, breathe out, and let someone else read the tape.
- 04
Write down inches and centimeters
Our charts show both. Recording both at measuring time means no conversion mistakes later - the single most common sizing error we see.
How traditional wear fits
Three things Western sizing won't tell you
The daura fits close, the suruwal flows
A topi is measured at the brow
Handmade shoes break in, not out
Measurements
Find your perfect fit
All measurements are a guide - handwoven pieces carry small, natural variations. When you are between sizes, size up for traditional wear, or reach out and we will tailor to your exact measurements.

How to measure
- Chest: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape level under the arms.
- Waist: Measure around your natural waistline, keeping the tape comfortably loose.
- Sleeve: From the centre back of the neck, over the shoulder, down to the wrist.
- Length: From the highest point of the shoulder straight down to the desired hem.
Dhaka Topi - Size Chart
The Dhaka Topi should sit snugly above the ears. Measure your head circumference and match it to the nearest size.
| Size | Head Circumference | Approx. |
|---|---|---|
| S | 21.5" (55 cm) | Small |
| M | 22.5" (57 cm) | Medium |
| L | 23.5" (60 cm) | Large |
| XL | 24.5" (62 cm) | Extra Large |
Topis have a little natural give in the weave for a comfortable fit.
How to measure
- Head: Wrap the tape around your head, just above the ears and eyebrows, where the topi sits.
Footwear - Size Chart
Match your measured foot length to find your size. US sizing shown with UK / EU equivalents.
| US | UK | EU | Foot Length |

How to measure
- Foot length: Stand on paper, mark heel to longest toe, and measure the distance in centimetres.
- Best fit: If you are between sizes, choose the larger size for traditional footwear.
