Our free denim repair service reflects our belief in nurturing connections between people and their clothes, emphasising sustainability and thoughtful care.

Size & Fit

Fits true to size. Take your normal size.


  • Our dungarees are not supposed to be fitted.
  • “Waist” size is one size larger than the “label” size, which is because these are a higher rise.
  • Hemming – Our dungaree inseams are hemmed to 33.5″ as standard, including the 1″ shrinkage allowance for after washing (so they’ll be approximately 32.5″ after washing).
  • We offer free custom length hemming. Once shortened, your jeans cannot be returned or exchanged. You may want to try the fit first, and hem them second.
  • Inseam Shrinkage – Though pre-shrunk, our jeans lose 2.5cm/1" in the length on the first wash. We therefore add 2.5cm /1" to whatever length you request.
