    Everything you need to know about sizing, shipping, returns, and care. If something is missing, come by the shop or send a note.

    Sizing & Fit

    All measurements are taken flat. For chest and waist, double the flat measurement to get the full circumference.

    Raw denim will stretch approximately 0.5 to 1 inch in the waist after the first few weeks of wear. Size down if between sizes.

    Boots and shoes are listed in US sizes. Alden and Sanders run true to size on the Brannock device.

    Shirting is cut with room for movement. If you prefer a closer fit, size down.

    For specific measurements on any garment, email us or visit the shop.

    Care Guide

    Raw denim: Wear for at least 6 months before the first soak. Turn inside out and soak in lukewarm water. Hang dry. No machine washing.

    Leather boots: Brush off dirt, condition every 3–6 months with a natural leather conditioner. Use cedar shoe trees.

    Wool: Hand wash cold or dry clean. Lay flat to dry. Do not wring.

    Leather jackets: Wipe with a damp cloth. Condition once a year. Store on a wide hanger in a cool, dry place.

    Aloha shirts: Machine wash cold, hang dry. Iron on low if needed.
