Sizing Information for
machine-knits
[Additional sizing information for
hand-knitted Ganseys can be found
here.]
Size exchanges can be a nuisance but
can, hopefully, be avoided if you
follow our sizing guidelines. If
possible, select a similar style of
knitwear or T-shirt which you
currently wear and feel comfortable
in, and measure across the chest,
from underarm to underarm, as
shown in the image above. Double
this measurement to arrive at the
actual garment size. Then compare
the measurement of your garment,
in inches, to the ones shown on each
product page.
Please do not confuse the
measurements we show on each
page with a person’s body
measurement; the measurements
listed are the actual dimensions of
our knitwear and Breton shirts.
A size 44 Guernsey sweater, for
example, will measure 44 inches all
round, but this does not fit a 44 inch
chest, it will be suitable for someone
with a chest measurement of 42
inches (for a comfortable fit) or 40
inches (for a loose fit). In general, we
recommend the two inch increment
as being suitable for most people.
Please do take the time to measure
your own garments before you order,
to prevent size exchanges. We keep
our costs to a minimum, to offer the
best possible price, and will have to
pass on the cost of return postage
for exchanged items.

These are traditional garments, manufactured to
an exacting standard and designed for years of

sweaters should be worn two inches larger than

The knitting industry on Guernsey commenced in
the early 16th century, when licences were
granted by the Crown to import wool from
England. Originally hand-knitted in one piece, the
Guernsey sweater developed as a warm, hard-
wearing garment for seamen. Although now
machine-knitted, the tradition continues. The
Guernseys we stock are made using the best
English worsted wool, whose long fibres have
been combed parallel to each other before
spinning, reducing the likelihood of the surface
fibres being disturbed by rubbing and giving a
smooth surface and clear stitch definition. The
main panels are machine-knitted but every
garment is then finished by hand. The result is a
strong, long-lasting garment that will hold its
shape in both wearing and washing.
