BUILT FOR VOLUME

True box-cut silhouettes are not simply standard garments made in larger sizes. They require complete pattern re-engineering: dropping the shoulder seam 4 inches while recalibrating sleeve pitch and body length.

RE-ENGINEERING THE SHOULDER SEAM

Standard commercial sizing merely scales all measurements proportionally. When you buy an XXL from a commercial brand, the body length becomes absurdly long. FITY silhouettes increase chest width and sleeve diameter while holding body length strictly architectural.

THE 2X2 REINFORCED CUFF

To anchor voluminous sleeves without letting them engulf the hands, our 2x2 ribbed cuffs feature Japanese elastane interwoven through combed cotton, providing crisp wrist lock that stacks the excess sleeve fabric cleanly along the forearm.
