Measure at home in 2 minutes
You need a strip of paper (or a string or shoelace), a pen and a ruler.
- Take a string or a shoelace and mark on it the length you are considering, for example 56 cm (22").
- Hold the two marks together at the back of your neck, wearing the kind of top you usually wear.
- Look in a mirror: the lowest point of the string is where the chain will sit.
- Too high or too low? Try 5 cm (2") more or less: that is one size up or down.
Already own a chain you like? Lay it flat, clasp closed, and measure it end to end. A broad neck or chest makes every length sit a little higher.
No ruler? A bank card is 8.6 cm (3.4") long: count how many fit along your strip.

A rope chain with a comfortable weight and a polished twist.
Atlas stood at the edge of the world and held. Holding is most of what a man does, and a good chain should hold up too. This rope chain rests with a comfortable weight against the skin. Its tightly woven links form a textured, light-catching twist in polished silver-tone stainless steel. Four widths from 2.5 to 5mm and seven lengths from 16 to 28 inches, worn alone or layered.
- Does not rust in the shower or the sea
- Four widths, seven lengths
- Secure lobster clasp
Details & specs
MaterialStainless steel
Chain styleRope chain
Width2.5mm, 3mm, 4mm or 5mm
Length16 to 28 in
FinishPolished silver-tone
ClosureLobster clasp
The chain is stainless steel, chosen for its strength and because it does not rust. The rope design is made of small links woven together into a tight twist, so it feels fluid in the hand and sits smoothly on the neck. Showers, training and a swim do the steel no harm, so it can stay on all day.
The finish is a polished silver-tone that reflects light along every turn of the twist. Widths run 2.5mm, 3mm, 4mm and 5mm: the thinner two are everyday details, the wider two make the chain the center of the outfit. Each chain is fitted with a lobster clasp for easy, secure fastening.
How to wear it
Wear it as a single chain over a tee for a clean everyday look. For a layered style, put a shorter 2.5mm near the collarbone and a longer 4mm or 5mm below it, or add a pendant on a longer length. The polished finish works with casual clothes and with a jacket and an open collar alike.
Choosing your size
Lengths run 16", 18", 20", 22", 24", 26" and 28". The shorter 16" to 20" sit at the collarbone or just below it, and 20" suits most men. For a chain that rests mid-chest, choose 22" or 24". The 26" and 28" hang low and look best over a shirt or with a pendant. If he is broad through the neck, go one length up.
Why this piece
A classic twist
The rope chain is a style that does not go out of fashion. Its texture catches light for a subtle, polished effect.
Stainless steel, worn hard
It does not rust and does not turn your skin green, so the gym, the shower and the beach are all fine.
For the man who carries everything
A gift for a son, a friend or a father who deserves one good chain. 20" in 3mm is the safest pick, and you have 30 days to return it.

Questions
Can the polished rope chain come into the sea with me?
Yes. Stainless steel does not rust, so a swim, the shower and training do it no harm. Rinse off the salt and dry the twist so the polish stays bright.
How should I clean it?
Now and then, wash it with a soft cloth, warm water and a little mild soap, working into the twist. Dry it fully before you store it.
Which width suits a first chain?
3mm is the easy start: visible over a tee, quiet under a shirt. Choose 4mm or 5mm if you want the chain to be noticed first.
Why is it called a rope chain?
Because its small links are woven into a tight twist that looks like a rope. That twist makes it fluid in the hand and gives it texture along every turn.
Which length suits a pendant?
24 in puts a pendant mid-chest, and 26 or 28 in drops it lower over a shirt. Choose 4mm or 5mm to carry it.
How do I layer two widths of the polished rope chain?
Put a shorter 2.5mm near the collarbone and a longer 4mm or 5mm below it. Both are polished silver-tone, so the pair reads as one deliberate look.
Is a rope chain a classic or a trend?
A classic. The rope chain has been a men's staple for decades, and its twist suits a tee as well as a jacket with an open collar.
Will it tarnish like silver?
No. Stainless steel does not tarnish the way silver does, and it does not rust, so the polish only needs a wipe with a soft cloth.
