Size Guide

 

British military clothing is sized using the NATO system - body measurements in centimetres rather than familiar Small, Medium and Large labels. Below is a full breakdown of sizes we stock, alongside its everyday UK/US equivalent.

Sizes reflect the wearer's body measurements the garment was designed around, not the garment itself - military kit is cut with extra room for layering, so it will generally sit larger than equivalent high-street sizing.
