Men's size guide

How BONQUERÉ men's pieces are cut, how to measure, and the size charts for every category. Correct sizing is the foundation of a considered purchase.

01 — Fit philosophy

Cut to sit close to the body, without holding it.

BONQUERÉ garments are drawn on the body, then given a measured amount of ease — enough to move and layer, never so much that the line is lost. Most pieces are a considered regular fit; where a style is designed fuller, it is named relaxed or oversized so there is never a surprise.

Choose the fit that matches how you like to wear a piece, not simply your usual letter. If you sit between two sizes, size up for tailoring and outerwear you will layer, and size down for knitwear and jersey you want close. When in doubt, our client-care team will advise.

02 — How to measure

A soft tape, held level.

Measure over light clothing, keep the tape level and snug but not tight, and stand relaxed. Record in centimetres and match the figures to the charts below.

Tops

For shirts, T-shirts, knitwear and jackets.

ChestAround the fullest part, under the arms.
WaistAround the natural waist, above the hip.
NeckAround the base of the neck (shirts).

Bottoms

04 — Garment fit

Four fits, one language.

Each product names its fit so you always know how it is designed to sit.

Regular

Close to the body with a measured ease. Follows the natural line without gripping — our default fit.

Relaxed

A little more room through the body and sleeve. Easy to layer, still considered — never slouchy.

Oversized

Generous and deliberate, with dropped shoulders. Designed to be worn loose — take your true size.

Tailored

Cut cleaner through the chest and waist for a defined line. If you are between sizes and will layer, size up.

05 — Frequently asked

Sizing questions, answered.

How do I know my size?

Measure your chest, waist and (for shirts) neck as shown above and match them to the chart for the category you are shopping. Then choose your fit — regular, relaxed, oversized or tailored — based on how you like to wear the piece. The size shown on each product reflects that garment's cut.

What if I am between two sizes?

Size up for tailoring and outerwear you will layer, and size down for knitwear and jersey you want close to the body. If you would like a second opinion for a specific piece, our client-care team is glad to advise before you order.

Are these body or garment measurements?

The charts are body measurements — match your own measurements to a size. Each garment then has its own ease built in according to its fit, which is why a relaxed piece feels roomier than a regular one at the same size.

Can I switch between centimetres and inches?

Yes. Use the CM / IN toggle at the top of the size charts. It converts every chart on the page at once and keeps your choice as you browse.

Do BONQUERÉ garments shrink?

Natural fibres can shrink a little on a first wash if handled with heat. Cool water and low heat keep both fit and fibre true — specific care sits on every product and its label.

Can I exchange for another size?

We do not operate a direct exchange service — order the replacement size straight away to secure it, then return the original under our returns process. It is refunded in the normal way once it reaches us.

Still unsure?
