FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Sizing and Fit

How does Arya sizing run?

Arya is engineered for the athletic body. Our patterns are built from scratch with extended thigh room, shoulder room, and waistbands that hold. If you are between sizes we recommend sizing up for the legging and down for the tee. Our full size range runs XS to 3XL for women and S to 3XL for men.

I have muscular thighs. Will the Noble Legging fit me?

Yes. That is exactly who the Noble Legging is designed for. Standard leggings assume a narrow thigh profile. The Noble Legging is patterned with extended thigh and hip room so it fits the body that actually trains without pulling, bunching, or restricting movement.

What if my size is not listed?

We are launching with XS to 3XL for women and S to 3XL for men. If you need a size outside that range join the waitlist and tell us. We are listening and will expand sizing based on demand.

Do you have a size guide?

Our detailed size guide with measurements will be available at launch. Join the waitlist to be notified when it goes live.

Care and Longevity

How do I wash my Arya pieces?

Machine wash cold with like colors. Gentle cycle. Lay flat or hang to dry. Do not use fabric softener as it can break down the performance properties of NobleFlex. Do not bleach. Do not tumble dry on high heat.

How long will my Arya pieces last?

We engineer for longevity not trend cycles. NobleFlex retains its shape and compression properties after repeated washing. We do not cut corners on construction. Your Arya pieces are built to outlast fast fashion alternatives by years.

NobleFlex has UV protection built in and is designed for movement in all environments. It performs well in light water exposure. For extended swimming we recommend rinsing after exposure to chlorine or salt water.

About Arya

Who founded Arya?

Arya was founded by Nieman Gougerchian and Lucy Sager in Los Angeles. Nieman is Persian-American, a former state wrestler and football player who spent years unable to find clothes that fit his athletic body. Lucy came from Florida to California and discovered Persian culture through Nieman. Together they built what did not exist. Read the full founder story at arya.clothing/founder.

What does Arya mean?

Arya comes from the ancient Persian word for noble and honorable. It is the etymological root of the word Iran itself. The name reflects our core belief that clothing should be worthy of the person wearing it.

How does Arya give back?

A portion of every Arya purchase goes toward building schools and athletic centers for children in underserved communities starting with Iran and growing wherever the need exists. Sport gave our founder his confidence and his mental strength. We believe every child deserves that opportunity.
