When shipping internationally all duties and taxes have to be paid at some point by the customer, to make this clearer we have added a DDP (Delivery Duty Paid) shipping option in the checkout. To use this enter your shipping location and continue to select - Option 1 - Standard DHL (DDP Taxes & Duties Paid) - Landed Price. This will give you a breakdown of the charges shipping, duties, VAT which you can pay in advance of delivery. This is the preferred option for most customers as it avoids surprises later down the line.
You can also choose option 2 which is DAP (Delivery at Place) which means you will be contact by DHL while the package is in transit for collection of any applied fees. This often slows the delivery down.

Cashmere Sweater Size Advice
As with any hand-finished garment, there can be slight natural variations in size. Our sizes correspond to a gentleman’s actual chest measurement and are designed for a comfortable classic fit, with approximately 4 inches of ease for comfort.
For example, a 44" chest corresponds to a size 44, with a finished garment measurement of approximately 24" across the front when laid flat, and therefore 48" around the whole chest. For a closer, more tailored fit, we recommend choosing one size smaller than your chest measurement.
May we suggest – Measure Your Favourite Sweater:
Lay your sweater flat and measure across the chest from armpit to armpit without stretching. Multiply by two to get your full chest size. You can also measure the back length and sleeve for extra accuracy.
You can compare your measurements with our size guide, or send them to us along with the style and colour you’re interested in. We’ll gladly confirm the best fit for you.
