Vestment Sizing Guide
Cassocks & Ryassas
Size = chest size (in centimeters)
All garment lengths are 170 cm (customer needs to hem for proper fit)
Liturgical Vestments & Monastic Mantles
Size = Chest x Length
Length = length in cm from back collar to bottom of vestment (choose a length that is less than collar-to-floor height to avoid vestment dragging on ground)
Suggested lengths based on wearer's overall height:
Wearer Overall Height | Suggested Vestment Length |
Less than 5'9" (175 cm) | 140 cm |
Between 5'9" and 5'11" (175 - 180 cm) | 145 cm |
Between 5'11" and 6'1" (180 - 185 cm) | 150 cm |
Greater than 6"1" (186 cm) | 155 cm |
How To Calculate Chest Size
Wrap a string around your chest, going under the armpits. Measure length of string in centimeters. Divide this number by two to get your garment chest size number. Round up to the nearest size since garment will be worn over clothes.
For example, a total chest measurement of 101 cm would yield a 50.5 cm garment size. The next size up from 50.5 cm is 52 cm.
Klobuks & Skoufias
Klobuks have an elastic fit that expands upon wearing. If you would like a snug fit, choose a klobuk size that is 1-2 cm smaller than your actual head circumference. If you would like a loose fit, choose a klobuk size that is your actual head size or 1 cm larger. If you would like to wear the klobuk over your ears, choose a size that is 1-2 cm larger than your actual head size.
Skoufias offer true sizing. Choose a size that is your actual head circumference.
How To Calculate Head Circumference
Wrap a string around your head just above the ears and eyebrows. Measure length of string in centimeters. This is your head size.
