Below are the body measurements we use as a guide to create our styles during the design process. Our clothes are designed based on a woman whose height is 5 ft 6 - 5 ft 7 (168 - 170 cm).
The fit of a garment varies depends on the style. You can find garment measurements in the "size and measurement" section in each garment page.
Always measure against your body rather than over clothes for an accurate result.
Measure under the arms at the fullest part around the bust horizontally
Measure around the natural waistline
With the feet together measure around fullest part
In bare feet take the measurement from the top of the inside leg and measure down the inside leg to the floor

United KingdomThe jumper was lovely- gorgeous soft fabric and arrived quickly. Unfortunately the colour didn’t work for me this time
United KingdomComfortable and beautiful
United KingdomLove the loose relaxed design. Beautiful fine knit, very happy with this purchase. Hadn’t realised has to be hand washed, dried flat and can’t use the iron on it.
United KingdomI've been looking for a top like this for years, and I'm so glad I found it. I had an old top that was a similar shape that I was trying to replace. The shape is really flattering, and the neckline looks great. You can wear it loose over things or tucked in. But the main thing is the fabric - it is so soft and feels really good quality. I've had other tops from Forgotten Tribes before that were a lovely shape but really horrible scratchy synthetic fabric. But the bamboo material is really nice (so is a hemp t-shirt I got). I think I'll be saving up to try other bamboo and hemp clothes that they make. They feel like better quality than some other high-profile bamboo clothing shops, which get holes in and fall apart quite quickly.
United KingdomA beautiful and extremely comfortable, stylish sweater.
United KingdomMy sweater is so comfortable to wear- the design is very well thought out and flattering.
United KingdomI haven’t actually worn the jumper yet but it’s beautifully made and looks gorgeous on. The orange colour is perfect for autumn and for me though I did have to return the grey one as that colour didn’t suit. Company is very ethical and clothes are beautifully made, I’ll definitely be back for more!
United KingdomBrought the trousers also - love them
United KingdomBeautiful, soft to touch & stylish. Really Lovely. Not cheap but well worth the money
United KingdomI would describe the coral colour as burnt orange, it’s a nice top but I decided to send back as it’s a little short at the front and didn’t quite cover the top of my jeans. But it is very stylish and shapely, just wasn’t for me. I’ve bought the round necked one instead which is slightly longer.
United KingdomThis is a really lovely lightweight fabric, good for the cooler summer days. It has a great shape, hangs really nicely and has a more interesting bottom line than most tops.
United KingdomQuick delivery and great material and cut - just perfect! You must make up about 60%of my wardrobe by now!
United KingdomBought 2 of these jumpers ‘cos I liked them so much. Because they’re made from a fine knit they hang really well and the colours are stunning too.
United KingdomI love the fabric, weight, length and colour. Not as keen on the boat neck - prefer the round neck of my other lightweight hemp FT sweater - but it drapes nicely.
United KingdomLove my items, great fit and quality, quick delivery and easy returns process. Very impressed.
