Fit guide

The size, before you order — not after you return it

Indian innerwear is sold on waist in centimetres, tops on chest in inches, and bras on a band-and-cup calculation that nobody explains. All three are below, plus the calculator that does the arithmetic for you.

Fit finder

Two measurements with a tape and you have your size. Nothing is sent anywhere — the arithmetic happens on your phone and stops there.

Still unsure? Order two sizes on the same bill. The rider waits while you try, takes the wrong one back, and the refund starts the same evening.

Full size charts, brand by brand

Enter both measurements and your size appears here.

Men's innerwear — briefs, trunks, boxers

Sold on waist, not on S/M/L. Measure around the natural waist, not the trouser waist.

M76 – 8130 – 3280 cm

XXL91 – 9736 – 3895 cm
3XL97 – 10238 – 40100 cm

Men's tops — tees, polos, hoodies

Chest measured under the arms, tape flat and level. Oversized cuts run one size larger by design.

Women's bras — band and cup

Band is the under-bust rounded to the nearest even inch. Cup is over-bust minus band. If you learned the older method that adds 4 or 5 inches to the under-bust, expect this to read one band smaller — modern Indian brands grade this way.

Women's briefs and bottoms

Hip at the fullest point. Between two sizes on a legging, take the smaller — four-way stretch gives about an inch.

Kids

Go by age first, then check the height. Most parents here buy one size up and get two seasons out of it.

Measuring on your own

Four things that go wrong

01

Use a cloth tape, not a steel one

A builder's tape will not follow the body and will give you a size too large every time. A ₹20 tailor's tape is the right tool.

02

Measure over thin clothing or bare skin

Over a sweater adds an inch and a half, which is a whole size.

03

Keep the tape level all the way round

Check the back in a mirror. A tape that rides up at the back reads short at the front.

04

Breathe out normally, do not hold it

Measure on a relaxed breath. A held breath gives you a garment that is uncomfortable exactly when you are not thinking about it.

Or skip all of it: call us and describe what fits you now — the brand and the size of something already in your wardrobe is usually enough for us to get it right first time. That is what a shop knows and a size chart does not. ask us on WhatsApp
