Measure once, order happy.

Every set comes in four sizes. All measurements are in inches.

How to measure

  1. Find a tee your child already wears happily. Lay it flat, buttoned or zipped if it has either.
  2. Shoulder: measure straight across from one shoulder seam to the other.
  3. Chest: measure across the garment one inch below the armhole, then compare that number to the chart.
  4. Body length: measure from the highest point of the shoulder down to the hem.
  5. Trouser length: measure from the top of the waistband to the bottom hem.
Between two sizes? Take the larger one. Our fits are relaxed on purpose, and cotton gives up a little length in the first wash. If you are unsure, send us your child’s age, height and weight on WhatsApp and we will tell you which to order.

The chart

Citric Stories t-shirt and trouser size chart, all measurements in inches

A note on fit

Every set is cut in an easy fit — roomy through the body and the leg, with an elasticated waist on the trouser. That is deliberate: it is what lets a five-year-old climb, nap and sit through dinner in the same outfit.

Sizes are labelled by age, but children of the same age vary a lot. The chart is the reliable guide, not the age on the label.
