Size Guides

We know that choosing the perfect sized clothing online can be difficult. As there is no standardised sizing, one manufacturer or store’s size “L” can be another manufacturer or store’s size “M”! It can be very frustrating…

So, to help we’ve compiled a list of The Sheffield Guide’s most popular Sheffield Shop clothing items and created a full measurement guide below to help you find the perfect fit, first time.

Our garments are “true to size” as defined in the below size guides. We recommend referring to the sizing information before purchasing to ensure the correct fit. In general terms, our clothing runs in a slim “fashion fit” sizing. If you prefer a looser fit, we advise ordering a size up.

If you can’t find suitable sizing in the below charts, please contact us. We may be able to source alternatives for you.

The Sheffield Guide Clothing Size Guides

We’ve compiled a number of size guides below as a general guide. For convenience, a link to the garment’s specific size guide will also be present on the product page for that item too. Note: All sizes are approximate and some variances may occur.
