How to Measure

Use a soft, flexible measuring tape. Measure directly on your skin or over light clothing. If you don't have a flexible measuring tape, you can use a piece of string by wrapping it around the area you're measuring, marking the spot where it meets, and then lay it flat on a ruler to measure. Alternatively, you can measure a well-fitting piece of clothing with a regular tape measure and compare the measurements to your body.

1 Arm Length
With elbow bent, measure from the center (back) of neck to elbow and down to wrist.

2 Chest
Relax your arms, then measure around the fullest part of your chest/bust.

3 Waist
Bend slightly to one side to find your natural waist. (This will be the crease created from bending). Then, stand erect and measure around your body at the crease points.

4 Hips
Stand relaxed with feet shoulder-width apart. Now, measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat.

Our Inca Collection honors traditional Andean techniques passed down through generations. These methods are far more gentle and hands-on than the processes typical of modern clothing production. Our sweaters are still dried by the Andean sun and crafted with practices that are gentle on the environment, using minimal energy and resources. Each sweater in the Inca Collection is still made by the original family of knitters that started PAKA with our founder, Kris, embracing a thoughtful approach to the craftsmanship and symbolism behind each design.
