Scottish Cashmere Knitwear

The pieces of a Belvest tailored waistcoat are laid out on a table, being measured by a tailor.

To help you to select the right size for garments, we have created size guides shown below. For your convenience the Robert Old customer experience team has individually measured all garments.

To find your ideal clothing size we would recommend comparing our measurements to similar garments that you already own, ensuring that they are laid flat before measuring.

If you would like any additional advice please feel free to contact us via +44 (0) 1202 290832 or store@old.co.uk and one of our friendly team will get back to you as soon as possible.

Our Cashmere Sweaters and Cardigans are sized based on a gentleman’s chest measurement and are designed for a relaxed, comfortable ‘Easy Fit’. Each size includes approximately 4 inches (10 cm) of added room around the chest to ensure ease of movement and a flattering drape.

How to Choose Your Size:
To find your ideal fit, measure your chest just under the arms and around the fullest part of your torso. We recommend selecting the size that matches your chest measurement. For example, if your chest measures 44 inches (112 cm), we suggest ordering a size 44 sweater, which will have an actual garment chest measurement of 48 inches to provide that extra comfort.

Prefer a slimmer fit?
If you prefer a closer fit, consider ordering one size smaller than your actual chest measurement.

Still unsure?
A great alternative is to measure a favourite sweater you already own. Lay it flat and measure across the chest from armpit to armpit. You can then compare this to the measurements in our size chart below.

If you need any help with sizing or have questions before ordering, please don’t hesitate to contact us — we’re happy to assist.
