Salvya
Size guide
Updated:12 May 2026 · Oversize hoodies & tees
Salvya drops use an oversize, street-led block: relaxed body, dropped shoulder, and extra length compared to slim retail fits. Garments are produced on demand— double-check your size before checkout. This page is a general reference; a specific product may note small differences when the manufacturer updates blanks.
1. How Salvya pieces fit
Expect a roomy chest and longer sleeves and body than a standard fashion tee. If you usually wear a medium in slim fits, you may still prefer M here for the intended silhouette—or size down one step if you want a closer (but still relaxed) look.
- Between two sizes? Compare your measurements to the chart below; when in doubt, keep the larger size for the authentic oversize drape.
- Layering: hoodies are sized to allow a light layer underneath; tees are single-layer friendly.
- Long torso or short arms? Prioritise chest first for tees; for hoodies, if length is borderline, compare the body length (B) column to a hoodie you already wear.
2. How to measure
Lay a similar garment you already love flat on a table, button/zip closed, and smooth out wrinkles—do not stretch the fabric.
- Half chest (A): measure straight across the garment, 1 cm below the armhole, from side seam to side seam. This number is “half chest” (half of the total chest circumference).
- Body length (B): measure from the highest point of the shoulder (where shoulder meets collar) straight down to the hem.
To measure your body instead, wrap a soft tape around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape level. Compare that circumference to roughly 2 × half chest from the chart, remembering you need ease for movement and the oversize cut.
3. Find your size (body chest)
Use the tool below for a quick label suggestion from your body measurement. It does not replace measuring a flat garment when you need precision.
Find your size
Enter your body chest (fullest part, tape level). We match the smallest label where garment chest ≥ your chest × ease. This is guidance only—always compare to a flat garment if you can.

4. Reference chart (unisex)
Approximate garment dimensions after production; slight variance (±1–2 cm) is normal between batches. Toggle cm or inches and copy the table for notes or messages to support.
Display units
| Size | Half chest (A) | Length (B) | Garment chest |
|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 52 cm | 66 cm | 104 cm |
| S | 55 cm | 69 cm | 110 cm |
| M | 58 cm | 72 cm | 116 cm |
| L | 61 cm | 75 cm | 122 cm |
| XL | 64 cm | 78 cm | 128 cm |
| 2XL | 67 cm | 81 cm | 134 cm |
Garment chest is the approximate circumference (2 × half chest). Use it when comparing to a tape measure around your body.
5. Hoodies vs tees
Hoodies use a heavier blank: the same labelled size can feel more structured in the shoulders because of fleece weight. Tees drape more softly; length and half chest follow the same grade rule as the chart unless the product page calls out a special cut.
6. Wash & shrinkage
Follow the care label inside the garment. Cotton-rich fabrics may shrink slightly on a hot wash or tumble dry. For longest life: cold wash, mild detergent, reshape while damp, air dry or low heat. If you are between sizes, remember shrinkage can steal about 1–2 cm of length after the first hot cycles—plan ahead.
7. Orders & exchanges
Wrong-size regrets are not covered as a return reason because pieces are made for you—see our Returns & refunds policy. If you are unsure, measure twice or ask us on official support channels before the twelve-hour cancellation window closes.
