Aelse Fit & Sizing Guide

Fit & Sizing

Cut for the body you live in, not the one you measure against.

How our fit works

  1. Start with your usual size. Our silhouettes sit close without pulling — never tight, always considered.
  2. Add your measurements (optional). Add your size to cart, tap “Add Size”, and share bust, waist, hips, height, weight, and any preferences (e.g. “slightly oversized”, “longer sleeves”, “room for layering”).
  3. Concierge fit check. Every order is reviewed by hand. If your measurements suggest a better size, we reach out before your piece ships.

Fit notes by category

  • Leather jackets & bombers — cut with ease for layering; vegetable-tanned leather relaxes with wear. Between sizes, take your usual and let it mold to you.
  • Suiting & blazers — between two sizes, take the larger; tailor for a closer fit.
  • Knitwear & cashmere — naturally flexible. True size for drape, size down for a closer silhouette; softens with wear.
