Measurements & care
Size & care
All measurements are the garment laid flat, in centimetres, taken from a production sample. Tolerance is about 1cm either way because these are sewn by people.
How to measure
Do not measure your body. Measure a garment you already own and like the fit of, then match it against the charts. It is faster and far more accurate.
- Lay the garment flat on a table, buttoned or zipped, and smooth out the wrinkles.
- Chest: measure straight across, one inch below the armhole. Waist: across the top of the waistband. Double the number for full circumference.
- Body length: from the highest point of the shoulder straight down to the hem.
- Compare. On boxy pieces, if you are between sizes take the smaller one — the cut already adds room.
Tees, longsleeves and hoods
| Size | Half chest | Body length | Typical fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | 50 | 68 | S / 36–38 |
| M | 54 | 70 | M / 39–41 |
| L | 58 | 72 | L / 42–44 |
| XL | 62 | 74 | XL / 45–47 |
| XXL | 66 | 76 | XXL / 48–50 |
Outerwear is cut one size roomier than tees on purpose so it layers. Take your usual size in the Second Pass Hood and the Squeegee Coach Jacket.

| 32 | 81 | 42 | 36 / 28 |
| 34 | 86 | 44 | 36 / 28 |

Raw pairs shrink. The Raw Selvedge 001 is unsanforized and loses roughly 2.5cm in the waist and 5cm in the leg after a cold soak. Buy one size up if you intend to soak them. The Wide Leg 002 and Carpenter 003 are sanforized and will not move.
There is a longer explanation of shrink and break-in in our raw denim guide.
Shoes
| UK / US | EU | Foot length (cm) |

| 7 | 40 | 25.0 |
| 8 | 41 | 26.0 |
| 9 | 42.5 | 27.0 |

| 11 | 45 | 29.0 |
| 12 | 46 | 30.0 |

The last is narrow through the midfoot. Wide feet should take half a size up.
Care
OB
Other Brothers · Lot 04 · Wash it right
- Machine wash cold, inside out
- Do not bleach — it eats the pink
- Tumble dry low or hang in shade
- Iron reverse, never on the print
- Do not dry clean
- Fades on purpose. Let it.
Fade is a feature
Plastisol sits on top of the fibre, so a hot wash cracks it and a hot dryer cooks it. Cold water and a low tumble keep a print sharp for years. Everything else is optional.
Raw denim is the exception to the wash-it-normally rule: soak once, then wash as rarely as you can stand, always cold, always hung dry.
Suede gets a crepe brush and nothing else. Canvas shoes can go in a machine at 30°C in a laundry bag with the laces out.
