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.

I love my new cargo pants!!! They're super cute and comfortable and I could wear them all day. The cotton is super soft yet durable and the pants are clearly made well. The only thing I regret is following the suggestion to size up from my standard American size as waist band is still a little bit loose even when tightened to the tightest setting but that's just my experience! I did originally buy the pants in a larger size, but customer service was so quick to help me exchange the pants for a better fit. I will absolutely be buying another pair of SUK pants soon!!!
I really like the adjustable waist band and the quality of cotton. These pants are sooooo soft and comfortable to work in, i could wear them all day. They're also super stylish and make me feel cute. I will say that, in my personal experience, i wish i had ignored the suggestion to size up from my standard american size as the size 16 pants are just a little loose after wearing them all day and there is still a gap even with the waistband fully tightened. Overall, i really recommend these pants
Sizing chart was mainly accurate! I like the fit and material, very comfy. Because of the adjustable side straps I was able to choose a more snug or loose fit while still being about waist height. Price reflects to quality of the product well in my opinion.
These mid-rise cargo pants are the most comfortable pants I have ever owned. They fit perfectly and move with me. I prefer mid rise to high so now have them in stone and black 👍🤩
These pants are amazing if you need all the pockets space. If you have thicker thighs they will be tighter but they still feel great for me!
They are a tad long for my legs but the adjustable waist makes up for anything I could find wrong with them!
It would be fair to say that I agonised over buying these cargo pants, as I've always been disappointed with pants I've bought online as they never fit properly. I'm 5ft 3, and have a sway back and short torso and have trouble getting pants to cinch at my waist. But I am in love with my SUK Cargo pants! A size 6 fits absolutely perfectly and the waist adjustment tabs mean that I can tighten them up to fit my waist. The mid-rise is perfect for my shorter torso and the leg length is spot on. Thanks SUK for an awesome product that is everything that I wanted it to be! I love the Hunter colour too, and it's exactly as it looks on screen. I'll be buying a black pair next!
Love the Brumby overalls. They're great for work as they have heaps of pockets to keep all my tools. I bought my first pair two weeks ago & have bought 4 more pair since!
I've had 3 pairs of these pants over the corse of a 18 months - good fit, good length, and they became my go to day to day pants hence the need for 3 pairs. Anyhoo - fast forward 12 months, the weight adjusters on 2 pairs have ripped off (which is odd because I never used them), and they have shrunk dramatically - or i've grown 10cm taller and a lot wider? They seem to eb the only pair of pants that do not fit me any longer... I'm contemplating getting a size up but hesitant. I'd give a 5 star if it wasn't for the quality factor - I guess I did thrash them though.
These pants are so great, I would replace every pair of pants in my wardrobe with them, EXCEPT that the legs are so wide. Everything from the knees up fits so well. I'm super short-waisted so mid-rise pants are the dream for me. (Otherwise the waistband touches my bra.) Sadly, everything from the knees down makes me feel like I woke up back in the 70s, wearing bell bottoms. So, if you've got a large behind and a short waist and you don't mind big floppy pant legs, I highly recommend these.
I’m a petite 5.1 and finally a pair of SUK bottoms that don’t come up uncomfortably high- very happy. Every other pair I have tried have been very uncomfortable for my proportions- if you do tall why not facilitate for petite? Next please do a low-mid rise elastic waist ripstop cargo pants!!
