Is samurai true to size?

Though our garments are stitched to size, all bodies are different. Our styles are made to get the most flattering fit possible for every body. However, we urge you to carefully consider your body type to see which of our styles look best on you. You can check the detailed size guide for each garment below or write to us and we’ll help you find the best samurai style and size.
