*Tip: Length Sizing for Tops

Long Massif tops generally feature an extra 1” of length than a Regular at the bottom hem and an extra 1.5” of sleeve length.

Short tops are generally 1” shorter than a Regular at the bottom hem and 1.5” shorter on the sleeve.

What that means to you: In general, if your sleeves are around your knuckles when your arms are down, or if you are constantly pushing your sleeves up, consider a Short. If you are sitting on your jacket when you sit down, that is also a good time to consider a Short. If your sleeves tend to sit above your wrists when your arms are down, consider a Long. When you raise your arms above your head if your stomach is showing, you should also consider a Long.

Please note: Since body proportions vary from person to person, and it is not unusual for someone to need a different length top than they need in a pants. In other words, if you require a top in Long that does not automatically translate to needing a Long pant.

All measurements are in centimeters. The measurements provided refer to body size, not to garment dimensions. Size up if you are between measurements - or size down if you prefer a tighter fit. Refer to the Measurement Guide for instructions on how to find your measurements.
