Eight and Bob

Eight and Bob Size Guide

Eight and Bob is a luxury fragrance and lifestyle brand renowned for its refined, minimalist aesthetic and attention to detail. While primarily known for prestige fragrances, the brand extends into complementary lifestyle categories including clothing, accessories, and footwear that embody the same principles of sophistication and quality craftsmanship. Eight and Bob sizing reflects European standards with a contemporary, streamlined fit that appeals to discerning customers who value precision and comfort. The brand's approach to tailoring emphasises clean lines and flattering silhouettes across both men's and women's collections.

How to Measure

1. Chest: Measure around the broadest and fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape measure parallel to the ground. Avoid placing the tape too high under your arms.
2. Waist: Measure around your natural waistline at the slimmest point, or where your body creases when you bend slightly forwards. Do not pull the tape too tightly.
3. Hips: Place the tape measure around the fullest part of your bottom and hips, keeping it parallel to the ground.
4. Shoulder width: For tailored items, measure across the back from the top of one shoulder to the top of the other shoulder.
5. Inside leg length: Measure from the top of your inside leg at the crotch down to the floor while wearing flat shoes. For trousers, it is better to measure slightly longer than too short.
6. Shoe fit: For footwear, always measure both feet (they may differ slightly) from heel to longest toe. Measure in the afternoon when feet are naturally slightly larger. For shoe width, consult a professional fitter if the brand offers multiple width options.

Product-Specific Guidance

Tailored Jackets & Blazers

Eight and Bob tailored pieces are designed with a contemporary, fitted silhouette. We recommend selecting your size based on chest measurement rather than relying on standard labels. If between sizes, choose the smaller size for a more tailored appearance, or the larger for a relaxed fit. Pay particular attention to shoulder width when ordering online — this measurement is difficult to adjust. Length typically breaks just below the hip bone.

Trousers & Bottoms

The brand offers a range of fits from slim to relaxed. Measure your inside leg length carefully, as Eight and Bob trousers are cut to precise lengths. If you fall between lengths, order the longer option; hemming is always possible. Waist measurements are generous in this category, so if you are between sizes, consider sizing down. Inseams typically run true to measurement.

Knitwear & Casualwear

Sweaters, jumpers, and casual tops follow a streamlined fit with minimal excess fabric. Measure your chest and refer to the women's or men's chart accordingly. Eight and Bob knitwear sits close to the body without being restrictive; lengths typically fall at the hip. Oversized silhouettes are intentionally cut fuller through the chest and shoulders, so check product descriptions carefully. Knitwear may require gentle laying-flat drying to maintain shape.

Footwear & Shoes

Eight and Bob shoes are crafted with precision European lasts and typically run true to size. We recommend measuring your foot length in centimetres and cross-referencing the footwear chart above. If you have a wide foot, consider sizing up by half a size, or consult the product description for width information. Leather uppers will mould slightly to your foot with wear. Always try shoes later in the day when feet are naturally fuller to ensure comfort for all-day wear.

Accessories

Belts, scarves, and leather goods are often one-size-fits-most or available in limited size variations. Belts typically adjust at the buckle, while scarves and wraps are designed for multiple styling options across sizes. Measure your waist for belt sizing; eight and bob belts are usually cut to fit a standard waistline with several notches for adjustment.

Sizing Tips

• Eight and Bob's European heritage means sizing runs smaller than typical UK or US high street brands; always refer to the size charts above rather than assuming your usual size will fit.
• When in doubt between two sizes, consider your typical fit preference and the garment category. Tailored pieces should fit snugly; casualwear and knitwear can comfortably size up for a relaxed look.
• The brand uses high-quality natural fibres such as wool, linen, and cotton; pre-shrinkage is standard, but always follow care labels to preserve fit and shape over time.
• Footwear from eight and bob is designed with narrow to medium lasts; if you have particularly wide feet or bunions, try ordering a half-size larger and using insoles to ensure comfort.
• Returns and exchanges are typically available within 14–30 days (check your local retailer for exact terms). Order in your measured size first; do not guess based on designer or heritage alone.
• When shopping online, use the product images and customer reviews to assess how items fit in practice. Many customers provide detailed fit notes that can help you decide between sizes or confirm your choice.
• Shoulder width in men's tailoring is critical and difficult to adjust. If between sizes, always measure your shoulders and consult the chart; choose the size that best matches your shoulders, then have the length and waist tailored if needed.
• Women's trousers and skirts may run a size smaller than tops; do not assume your blouse size will match your bottoms.
