Size guide

Getting the size right

Underwear only works if it fits, and you cannot try ours on before you order. The fastest way to get it right is to tell us what you already wear — we will tell you what to order here, and we answer in minutes.

Tell us the size you take in a brand you already own — Jockey, Woolworths, whatever is in your drawer — and we will tell you what to order here.

How the cuts sit

  • Signature Boxer Brief. Mid-length leg. Sits low enough to stay put under trousers, short enough not to bunch behind the knee.
  • Cotton Trunk. The same cut taken up an inch or two, for when nothing should show below a short.
  • Ribbed Cotton Vest. Close through the body with a straight hem, so it stays tucked.
  • Racerback Bralette. Pull-on, no wire and no hooks. The band does the work, so it should feel firm across the ribs and not tight.
  • Hipster Brief. Sits on the hip rather than the waist, with a bonded leg edge so nothing prints through.
  • Knan Signature Cap. One size, adjustable at the back.

Measuring yourself

Stand relaxed, don't hold your stomach in, and keep the tape flat against the body without pulling it tight. Two of these are usually enough.

  • Waist. Around the narrowest part, roughly level with your navel.
  • Hip. Around the fullest part of your seat, feet together.
  • Chest or bust. Around the fullest part, tape level across the back.

Then send us those numbers, or the brand and size you already wear. Either works.

Between two sizes? On boxer briefs, trunks and vests, take the larger — the waistband takes up the difference, and a band that is too snug is the first thing to become uncomfortable. On the bralette and hipster our cut runs slightly small, so size up there too. Kids' sizes are cut with growing room, so order the age.
Why there is no measurement chart here yet. We would rather send you to a person than publish a table of centimetres we have not measured off the actual garments. Ask us and you will get a straight answer from someone holding one.

Ordered the wrong size? Message us within 7 days and we will swap it, as long as the packaging is unopened.
