Size guide
Size guide
The pieces use Italian sizing. In practice it maps directly onto French sizes: an L stays an L. They are fitted without being tight.
All measurements are given garment laid flat, in centimetres. To compare, measure a piece you already wear rather than your body: it is more reliable.
The measurements below are being confirmed with North Sails. They will be replaced by the official table before launch.
Men
The men’s wardrobe is sold from S to 4XL. The table below stops at XXL, for want of official measurements beyond it so far.
| Size | Chest | Back length | Shoulders | Sleeve |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | 50 | 70 | 44 | 21 |
| M | 53 | 72 | 46 | 22 |
| L | 56 | 74 | 48 | 23 |
| XL | 59 | 76 | 50 | 24 |
| XXL | 62 | 78 | 52 | 25 |

The women’s wardrobe is sold from XS to XXL. The same reservation applies to the last size.

Children
Ages 4 to 14, in two-year steps. Children’s sizes follow age, with enough ease to move.
Accessories
Both caps and the belt are one size. The caps adjust with a strap at the back, the belt with a double D-ring buckle, so with no fixed notch.
Frequently asked
Do they come up large or small? Neither. Italian sizing maps directly onto French sizing: an L stays an L.
Between two sizes, which one? The larger if you wear the polo over a t-shirt, the smaller otherwise. The cuts are fitted, not nipped.
Do the pieces shrink? No, provided you keep to 30 °C and dry flat. Tumble drying is to be avoided on cotton and on linen alike.
Where can I try them on? In the five VST43° stores: Hyères, Port-Grimaud, Sainte-Maxime, Saint-Malo and Arcachon.
