• 1x leg hammer holster and D-Ring
Our Fabric
We make all our classic styles from a heavy duty 310 gsm 100% Fairtrade cotton drill, with a lightly brushed finished. This means it’s heavy duty, breathable and soft to the touch.
As this is natural material, this fabric does have its limitations: like most 100% cottons, with constant wear, tear and laundering, the cotton can weaken over time. So whilst our styles are designed for long term, day to day use, if you are kneeling on abrasive surfaces regularly, we suggest investing in some knee pads to avoid rips and holes.
We’ve designed this guide to make choosing your size as simple and accurate as possible, based on both our measurements and real customer fittings.
Our sizing follows Australian numerical sizing. As there’s no universal standard across brands, your size may vary elsewhere. This guide is the best way to find your fit in SÜK.
Find Your Size
1. Measure your body
Bust – measure around the fullest part of your chest. Keep the tape measure firm and straight, wrap it under your arms and across your shoulder blades.
Waist – measure around your natural waistline, the narrowest part of your torso that sits above your hips, where you would like the waistline of your new gear to sit.
Hips - measure the fullest part of your hips and bum.
2. Use your largest measurement
Match your measurements to the chart below using your largest measurement (this is usually your hips).
This ensures the garment fits comfortably across your body.
3. Consider how you like your fit & adjust for your body
Prefer a firm fit? You can size down
Prefer a relaxed fit? Size Up
Between sizes? Most customers choose the larger size for comfort and the ability to cinch the waist using the adjusters
Important: Where you wear your waistband
All our styles are designed to sit high on the waist (except our Mid-Rise Cargo Pants).
Wear them high-waisted → stay true to size or size down
Wear them mid or low rise → consider sizing up or measure where you would like them to sit and compare this measurement to the waist measurement in the chart
All our garments have waist adjusters, allowing the waist to be brought in by up to 10cm.
Real Fit Insights
From our in-store fittings and customer feedback:
Looking for a firm fit? You can size down in our Cotton Drill. This is because the fabric will relax with wear
In-between sizes? Most customers size up when between sizes for comfort, and the waist can be cinched in for a great fit.
Your height and torso length matter: taller customers may prefer more room through the rise and size up

Body Length for Suits (Short vs Long)
Some suits are available in short body and long body options. This refers to your torso length, not your height or inseam length.
If you usually get a wedgie in a jumpsuit, get the LONG BODY
Never had this issue before, get the SHORT BODY
Generally, if you are taller than 180cm, we recommend the Brumby or Roper suits with adjustable straps for extra torso length, and double-check the inseam length will work for you.
The SÜK team says: “Our staff like to size down from their pants sizing for a snug fit in our Brumby, Lagoon and Yard suits. Our Roper and Ringer suits are already fitted and true to size”
Garment Measurements
We provide individual garment measurements on every single one of our items! If you're someone who loves that extra detail, please have a read on the specific garment page. We also try to display the size each model is wearing and their measurements to help you.
These measurements are taken from the flattened physical garment, and then doubled to achieve an accurate measurement. Each chart is specific to each individual style. There is a variation of 1-2cm per garment, as our styles are prewashed and pre-shrunk before we send them to you.
You can use the garment measurements and measure an existing comfy item of clothing and compare it to our chart.
Fabric Notes
Drill: Durable and classic. We recommend an initial firm fit, as our cotton relaxes with wear. It’s similar to true denim, where the fibres soften the more you wear it. Washing will help bring it back to its original firmness.
Denim: Our denim offers the most reliable, true-to-size fit. It has a natural give that conforms to your body over time while maintaining its shape. If you are buying Denim, order your standard size.
Canvas: Built for heavy-duty protection, our Canvas is a thick, highly rigid material with zero stretch. It requires a break-in period. Fit Tip: If you need more room for bending and moving, or if you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up.
Ripstop: Lightweight but incredibly tough, Ripstop is a zero-stretch fabric. Because it does not yield around the hips or waist, we strongly recommend sizing up if you are between sizes or prefer a looser, more comfortable fit for active work.
Measuring Tips
Measure in your underwear where possible Keep the tape firm but not tight Ensure the tape sits flat
Style Note
All our pants are designed to be worn higher on your waist, no plumbers’ crack here. Wearing them lower on your hips may change how the size feels. Remember, the waist is adjustable on all our garments.

Hi again!! Finally! The prefect summer shorts!! Now I have shorts that are long enough for work and life and with pockets!!!! Other summer shorts are too short and often if they do have pockets they are tiny and if I could fit my phone it would make my shorts drop haha. No longer haha. These are prefect summer shorts!! Phone, sunscreen, sunglasses.. I can have it all!! I love the design and the fabric is so nice and soft. Love it!!
Love love these shorts. Super soft material, very comfy, great fit and I love being able to adjust the waist. They do loosen up as you wear them so need to adjust during the day.
I got these shorts to wear while I was doing home renovations- but I love them so much I wear them everywhere! Great quality, great fit and super versatile - I love them!
This is the third time I’ve bought from this brand. They are very comfy for a bigger girl to wear. Makes you feel you are part of the team . I wore them at my volunteering job which is in an animal sanctuary and I felt comfortable in the long shorts and I wore them for 8 hours straight . I will be highly recommending them to anyone who asks me about the shorts .
Thank you
The pockets are absolutely massive, almost elbow deep for me and this is fantastic. I have a small notebook, scissors, wallet, phone, keys, pen, and could easily fit more.
The size was accurate and the adjustable straps at the waist make it perfect.
The fabric quality of these shorts is absolutely unreal. You can tell these were not cheaply made. Absolutely gorgeous with all the deep pockets too, very flattering. However, the only down-side is they're just ridiculously too high waisted. I'm a pretty average height at 5 foot 7 inches but these were coming up to my ribs which is just too restrictive.
These aren't as a long as I was expecting. They stop above my knee, I was hoping for a knee coverup - like in the product photo. They also fit great around my waist, but then they look a bit boofy at my crotch area. It's a weird fit. I'm still wearing them, because its summer and I need some shorts, but I wouldn't call them "long".
I was excited to own a pair of SUK shorts, loved that they have larger sizes, and was keen to support what seemed to be a somewhat inclusive company. Sadly they don't hold up to the way larger bodies move at all.
After less than 5 washes and wears, the crotch has worn down and pilled badly. For the price, this really isn't good enough. My cheap shorts from major department stores have held up for years without this level of wear and tear. I'm really disappointed as I love the style and it's hard enough to find decent clothing as a plus sized gal.
