Size Guide
Every SABR garment is measured flat, in centimetres, on the garment itself — not on a body. Compare these numbers to a shirt you already own and like, and you'll get the fit right the first time.

Half chest is measured across the chest from seam to seam with the tee laid flat — double it for the full circumference.
Which size should I take?
The tees are cut oversized and are true to size — take the size you normally wear. If you want a boxier, more relaxed drop on the shoulder, size up one. If you prefer it closer to the body, size down one.
Awrah shorts
Flat measurements for the shorts have not been published yet — we're having every size re-measured rather than publishing numbers we can't stand behind. In the meantime:
- The shorts run true to size against standard men's sizing.
- Both styles sit above the navel and finish below the knee — that's the point of the cut, not a sizing error.
- If you are between sizes, take the larger one: the waistband is elasticated and the outer short is designed to move.

How to measure a tee you already own
- Lay the shirt flat on a table, front up, and smooth out the wrinkles.
- Back centre length — from the highest point of the shoulder seam at the neck, straight down to the bottom hem.
- Half chest — across the shirt from armpit seam to armpit seam.
- Shoulder width — from shoulder seam to shoulder seam across the back.
- Sleeve length — from the shoulder seam to the end of the sleeve.
Match those four numbers against the table above and take the closest row.
Care
- Machine wash cold, inside out, with similar colours
- Do not bleach
- Tumble dry low, or hang to dry — hang drying keeps the print sharpest
- Do not iron directly on the print
- Do not dry clean
