At Amano, we believe that sizing depends on your desired look and what makes you feel the best! We generally work with two key silhouettes - relaxed and oversized*. 

• Relaxed fit: this silhouette is designed half a size up from our regular fit, however, this will not be as loose as oversized styles. 

• Oversized fit: this silhouette has been designed one full size larger than a typical regular fit. This means that any piece of knitwear that is named ‘oversized’ will be loose-fitting with extra volume. 

On every piece of knitwear, you will find a chart with the key size measurements. We would suggest checking these measurements against your favorite fitting piece of knitwear you already have. 

Please see below how we measure the chest and length: 

If you are still struggling with sizing, please email: james@foreveramano.com  *Note that due to the handmade nature of our knitwear, sizing may differ slightly. 

Amano Knitwear Sizing FAQs

What size knitwear should I choose? 

Here at amano, we believe that sizing depends on your desired look and what makes you feel the best! 

When we started in the late 80s, we used to make everything in one size, but in recent years we have worked hard to increase our sizing range with many styles offering up to 4 or 5 sizes.
