A Complete Size Guide for the Monk’s Habit

Every habit is cut from chest, waist, shoulder and length so it drapes correctly at the cincture and hem. Find your size below, then confirm sleeve and shoulder against the measuring guide underneath.

I Use a cloth tape A soft tailor’s tape sits flat against the body — a metal tape will not.
II Measure over light clothing A fitted layer underneath gives the truest figure, without the bulk of outerwear.
III Ask a helper Please do not measure yourself — a second pair of hands gives straighter, truer numbers.
IV Measure twice Habits are made to order and cannot be exchanged — a second check is worth it.

Find Your Size

All measurements in inches. If a measurement falls between two sizes, we recommend sizing up for the fuller, traditional drape.

Size Chest Waist Shoulder to Shoulder Overall Length Sleeve Length
Small / Medium48.8″56.7″19″55.1″25″

Hood, cowl & cincture. These are cut to one standard length and depth across every size, so they are not listed by measurement above — the draped cowl and rope cincture are designed to sit correctly regardless of body size.
Step by Step

How to Take Your Measurements

Reference points A–E correspond to the five measurements above.

Size Guide Monks Habit
Reference points A–E indicate where to take each measurement.
1

Chest — A

Measured around the fullest part of the chest, keeping the tape level and comfortably loose.

2

Waist — B

Measured around the fullest part of the waist, where the rope cincture will sit.

3

Overall Length — C

Measured from the back of the neck straight down to the bottom hem.

4

Sleeve Length — D

Measured from the top of the shoulder to the end of the sleeve or cuff.

5

Shoulder Width — E

Measured straight across the back, from shoulder point to shoulder point.

For the most accurate fit, measure with a soft tape and ask someone to assist where possible.
Before you order. Every habit is cut to order and cannot be exchanged for a different size once made. If a measurement falls between two sizes, we recommend sizing up.

Made to serve you in every season of ministry.
