How We Measure
We understand that finding the right size and fit online can be challenging, especially with different brands from around the world. The best way to ensure a great fit is to compare the measurements of the new garment with one you already own and love. We provide accurate measurements for each item in our store, and here’s how you can do the same.
- Lay your garment flat on a smooth surface.
- Take the measurements as shown in our guide.
- Make sure to compare similar items (jeans for jeans, jackets for jackets) to ensure the best match.
If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to email us at info@goteborgmanufaktur.se.
