Your waist is the point halfway the area between the top of your hip bone and the bottom of your rib cage, about at the height of your belly button. To measure wrap a tape measure around your waist, stand up straight and breath out naturally. Then check the measurement on the tape measure.

Jacket/shirt sizes

Consider asking someone to measure your chest size, because this is hard to do on one’s own. Stand normally (don’t puff out your chest) and wrap a tape measure around your torso just under your armpits. Measure the widest part of your torso, usually above or at the nipple line.

Products

How do I clean wool garments?

Wash them as little as possible. Instead air the garment and brush off mudd and dirt. You will find that wool has self-cleaning properties, so usually this is sufficient.

If you have to wash the garment, use a detergent for wool clothing and use the cold water cycle of your washing machine. Lay out flat to dry.

How do I clean leather shoes?

Well, first be carefull in wet and muddy circumstances. Treat wet leather shoes carefully. First, remove dirt and sand. Stuff wet shoes with newspaper. Do not use heat and do not let them dry quickly, but slowly at room temperature.

Keep leather clean and use leather conditioner, polish and preserve or weatherproof products.

We do our best to run our business in a sustainable way. We seperate waste streams, we re-use and recycle packing materials and try to buy as little plastic as possible.
