  Sizing Information for
  machine-knits
  [Additional sizing information for 
  hand-knitted Ganseys can be found 
  here.]
  Size exchanges can be a nuisance but 
  can, hopefully, be avoided if you 
  follow our sizing guidelines. If 
  possible, select a similar style of 
  knitwear or T-shirt which you 
  currently wear and feel comfortable 
  in, and measure across the chest, 
  from underarm to underarm, as 
  shown in the image above. Double 
  this measurement to arrive at the 
  actual garment size. Then compare 
  the measurement of your garment, 
  in inches, to the ones shown on each 
  product page.
  Please do not confuse the 
  measurements we show on each 
  page with a person’s body 
  measurement; the measurements 
  listed are the actual dimensions of 
  our knitwear and Breton shirts.
  A size 44 Guernsey sweater, for 
  example, will measure 44 inches all 
  round, but this does not fit a 44 inch 
  chest, it will be suitable for someone 
  with a chest measurement of 42 
  inches (for a comfortable fit) or 40 
  inches (for a loose fit). In general, we 
  recommend the two inch increment 
  as being suitable for most people.
  Please do take the time to measure 
  your own garments before you order, 
  to prevent size exchanges. We keep 
  our costs to a minimum, to offer the 
  best possible price, and will have to 
  pass on the cost of return postage 
  for exchanged items.
  
  
 
  
Le Tricoteur 
  Guernseys :
  These are traditional garments, manufactured to 
  an exacting standard and designed for years of 
  wear. The sizes shown below are actual garment 
  size. In general, for a comfortable fit, these 
  sweaters should be worn two inches larger than 
  your chest measurement. If you prefer a looser fit 
  please order a larger size still. 
  Despite every effort to ensure consistency, the 
  colours shown below may vary from the actual 
  colour.

  The knitting industry on Guernsey commenced in 
  the early 16th century, when licences were 
  granted by the Crown to import wool from 
  England. Originally hand-knitted in one piece, the 
  Guernsey sweater developed as a warm, hard-
  wearing garment for seamen. Although now 
  machine-knitted, the tradition continues. The 
  Guernseys we stock are made using the best 
  English worsted wool, whose long fibres have 
  been combed parallel to each other before 
  spinning, reducing the likelihood of the surface 
  fibres being disturbed by rubbing and giving a 
  smooth surface and clear stitch definition. The 
  result is a strong, long-lasting garment that will 
  hold its shape in both wearing and washing.

  Important Sizing Information
  Size exchanges can be a nuisance but can, hopefully, be avoided if you follow our 
  sizing guidelines. If possible, select a similar style of knitwear or T-shirt which you 
  currently wear and feel comfortable in, and measure across the chest, from 
  underarm to underarm, as shown in the image at left. Double this measurement to 
  arrive at the actual garment size. Then compare the measurement of your garment, 
  in inches, to the ones shown on each product page.
  Please do not confuse the measurements we show on each page with a person’s 
  body measurement; the measurements listed are the actual dimensions of our 
  knitwear and Breton shirts. A size 44 Guernsey sweater, for example, will measure 44 
  inches all round, but this does not fit a 44 inch chest, it will be suitable for someone 
  with a chest measurement of 42 inches (for a comfortable fit) or 40 inches (for a loose 
  fit). In general, we recommend the two inch increment as being suitable for most 
  people.
  Please do take the time to measure your own garments before you order, to prevent 
  size exchanges. We keep our costs to a minimum, to offer the best possible price, and

  “Premium” or “Rocquaine”?
  Le  
  Tricoteur  
  Guernseys  
  are  
  basically  
  machine-knitted  
  with  
  some  
  hand  
  finishing. 
  From  
  the  
  shoulder  
  down  
  both  
  styles  
  are  
  identical,  
  using  
  the  
  same  
  type  
  of  
  pure 
  wool.  
  With  
  the  
  "Rocquaine"  
  version  
  the  
  neck  
  is  
  machine-knitted  
  as  
  part  
  of  
  the 
  body  
  and  
  the  
  small  
  gusset  
  at  
  either  
  side  
  of  
  the  
  neck  
  (where  
  it  
  joins  
  the  
  shoulder 
  strap)  
  is  
  linked  
  by  
  hand.  
  With  
  the  
    
  “Premium”  
  range  
  the  
  shoulder  
  strap  
  and  
  neck 
  are still done by hand.
  The  
  “Rocquaine”  
  version  
  is  
  currently  
  available  
  in  
  three  
  colours  
  only  
  (Navy,  
  Loden 
  and  
  Charcoal)  
  and  
  from  
  sizes  
  38”  
  to  
  48”.  
  The  
  “Premium”  
  version  
  is  
  available  
  in  
  a 
  much wider selection of colours (as shown below) and sizes from 36” to 56”.
