1970s Richfield High School "Azurettes" Drill Team Coverall Jumpsuit

Label sizes of vintage clothing are different to today's clothing sizes, and some items are not labelled at all.  We provide specific measurements for each item, as it's the most accurate way for us to help you determine fit with one of a kind garments.  We also provide an approximate size to give you a general idea of size and the garment's neck label size (if there is one).

If you require further measurements or have a question about sizing of a particular item, please email us  and we'll email you back! 

GENERAL SIZE GUIDE - CLOTHING

We list an approximate size in the garment's description.  This is to give you a general idea if the item will fit, and should not be used as the sole way of determining size.  

Refer to the 'General Size Guide - Clothing' table below to determine your approximate size.

We recommend that if you wish to purchase an item, that you measure a similar garment that you already own, that fits you and then use the look at how we measure our pieces in the 'Specific Size Guide' (with pictures) as shown below.

SPECIFIC SIZE GUIDE - CLOTHING

The best way to calculate your size is to measure a garment that you already own which is similar and you know fits you.  Measure it in the same way that we measure our garments as shown in the images below and compare the measurements.  It is important to measure your garments whilst they are laying flat.

Dimensions given are in centimetres and the listed measurements do not include any stretch the item may have unless specified.

SPECIFIC SIZE GUIDE - ACCESSORIES

Men's and Ladies Footwear

All our footwear is sized in Australian sizing.  Use the conversion tables below as a guide to determine your shoe size.

1. Stand on a level floor with the back of your heels against a straight wall.

2. Measure your foot length by placing a ruler flat on the floor straight alongside the inner side of your foot - from your heel to your toes.

3. Place a straight edged object (e.g. book or A4 paper) horizontally across your toes with the edge touching the tip of your longest toe.

4. Take the measurement from the ruler (in centimetres) of the length of the foot (from the wall to the straight edged object) as in the image below.  This is your foot length measurement.

5. If your foot measurement is halfway between sizes, select the larger size.  Use the tables above to convert your foot length measurement to a shoe size.
