Size Guide Information
All of our clothing items have size guides on the product page - just look for the small button at the top of the page. Our guides are available in both inches and centimeters to suit your preference. While most men's sizes are straightforward, if you'd like extra reassurance, this guide is here to help you choose the best fit for your Peter Christian garments.
Trousers
Our trousers are sized by waist and inside leg; please see below for guidance on how to measure. Some collections also feature our expanding waistband, offering up to 2” of comfortable give. Additional measurements, such as the rise are provided - please note, most of our trousers offer a generous rise, while our jeans sit slightly shorter. We recommend checking these measurements against a pair of trousers you know fit well.
Seat
Measure the seat by measuring around the widest part of the trousers at the base of the fly, ensuring the tape follows the full circumference
Rise
Measure the front rise from the top of the front waistband down to the lowest point of the crotch seam.
Inside Leg
Measure your inside leg from the top of the inner thigh down to the ankle bone, keeping the tape straight along the inside seam.
Hem
Measure the hem width by laying the trousers flat and measuring straight across the bottom of the leg from one side to the other.
Jackets, Waistcoats & Knitwear
Our Jackets, Blazers, Coats, Waistcoats and Knitwear are measured in chest size. Please note that our chest measurements are 'to fit', meaning they correspond to your body measurement rather than the garment's actual chest width. Some garments also use a different starting point for sleeve length, so please refer to the specific product's size guide where indicated.
Sleeve Length
Measure the sleeve length from the top of the shoulder seam down to the wrist bone, following the natural curve of the arm.
Back Length
Measure the back length from the base of the collar down to the hem, following the centre back of the garment.
Chest
To find your chest size, measure around the fullest part of your chest with the tape held relaxed, about an inch below the underarm.
Shirts
Our shirts are sized by collar measurement, which corresponds to the neck circumference each garment is designed to fit. For information on split sizing, please consult the size guide on the product page, or refer to the individual product description for detailed measurements.
Collar Size
Measure your collar size by wrapping the tape around the base of your neck, just below the Adam’s apple, keeping it snug but not tight.
Hats & Caps
All of our hat sizes, where not one-size, are based on head circumference. If your measurement falls between sizes, we recommend choosing the bigger size.
Head Circumference
Holding the tape firmly but not too tight, measure the circumference of your head in centimeters, taking the measurement from where the hat would naturally sit.
Gloves
All of our gloves are measured in hand circumference. You should always measure your dominant hand, as it can be larger.
Hand Circumference
Wrap the tape around the widest part of your palm, just below the knuckles, keeping the tape snug but not tight and excluding the thumb.
