What to know about A Kind of Guise
A Kind of Guise is a Munich menswear label founded in 2009 by Yasar Ceviker and Susi Streich, which began with a small run of leather bags made as a student project. It designs relaxed tailoring, camp-collar and overshirt styles, outerwear and fine cotton and wool knitwear, produced largely in Europe. Seasonal collections are built around travel narratives, alongside a year-round Permanents line of core pieces. The brand opened its first flagship store on Amiraplatz in central Munich in October 2024 and sells through its own site and stockists including END.

By category
| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hoodies & sweatshirts | slightly large | relaxed sweat and knit shapes with a soft shoulder | True to size works for a relaxed look; size down for something closer to the body. |
| Jackets | runs large | soft, unstructured outerwear with room for layering | Size down if you plan to wear it over just a tee or shirt, true to size for heavy layering. |
| Shirts & overshirts | runs large | boxy camp-collar and overshirt silhouettes with wide armholes and dropped shoulders | Size down one for a normal shirt fit; stay true to size only if you want a deliberately loose, drapey look. |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | slightly large | relaxed straight body, not skin-close | Take your usual size for a modern relaxed tee, or size down if you prefer a fitted knit. |
| Trousers & pants | slightly large | relaxed, pleated or straight through the thigh | Stick with your true waist size but expect a roomy leg; hemming is commonly needed. |
