Size
Guide

All NAWHASTRA garments are graded for the Nepalese frame — shorter body lengths, shorter inseams, South Asian shoulder widths. If you are between sizes, size up.

How to Measure

Measure Yourself
Correctly

Chest / Bust

Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape horizontal. Breathe normally — do not expand your chest. In centimetres.

Waist

Measure around your natural waistline — the narrowest part of your torso, typically 2–3cm above your navel. Keep tape snug but not tight.

Hip

Measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat. Stand with feet together. Keep tape horizontal all the way around.

Inseam

Measure from the crotch seam to the bottom of your ankle. Best done with a friend. All NAWHASTRA inseams are calibrated shorter than Western standard.

All measurements below are finished garment measurements in centimetres — not body measurements. Add 4–6cm to your body measurement for a relaxed fit, 2–3cm for a tailored fit.

Fit Philosophy

How NAWHASTRA
Fits

Body Length

All tops and outerwear are 4–6cm shorter than Western standard export blocks. This is intentional — designed for Nepalese and South Asian proportions.

Inseam

Men's base inseam 76cm (size M). Women's base inseam 73cm (size M). 6–8cm shorter than Western standard. No pooling at the ankle.

Shoulder

Shoulders are set for South Asian frame width. If you are between sizes on shoulder width, size down. The shoulder seam should sit at the edge of your shoulder bone.

Between Sizes

If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up for shirts and outerwear. For trousers and skirts, size down if between waist sizes. For knitwear, size up for relaxed, size down for fitted.
