How do women's US, UK, EU and Indian sizes compare?
The women's chart moves in fixed steps. A UK size is the US size plus 4, the EU size is the US size plus 30, and the Indian size sits 2 below the EU number. That makes a UK 12 a US 8, an EU 38 and an Indian 36, with the letter M. Read across any row for every equivalent at once: an EU 40, for example, is a UK 14, a US 10 and an Indian 38. Eleven rows run from US 0 (XXS) to US 20 (3XL).
Letter sizes are coarser than numbers. S, M and L each cover two numeric rows: S spans US 4 and 6, M spans US 8 and 10, and L spans US 12 and 14. A UK 12 and a UK 14 both count as M here, so when a brand lists numeric sizes, the number narrows the fit more than the letter does.
How do I find my men's size from a chest measurement?
In the men's chart, the US and UK numbers are the chest measurement in inches, and the Chest (cm) column is that figure times 2.54, rounded. Size 40 means a 40-inch chest: 40 × 2.54 = 101.6, listed as 102 cm. The EU size adds 10 to the inch figure, giving EU 50, and the India column adds 2, giving 42. XS at 86 cm is the smallest row and 3XL at 117 cm the largest.
Measure around the fullest part of your chest, under the arms, with the tape level and close to the body without pulling it tight. Divide the result in cm by 2.54 to compare it with the US and UK column. A 99 cm chest works out to 38.98 inches, between M (38 inches, 97 cm) and L (40 inches, 102 cm).
What does the size chart leave out?
The women's table lists no body measurements at all, and the men's table gives chest only. Waist and hip sizes, collar and trouser measurements and children's clothing are outside both tables. For footwear, use the Shoe Size Converter, and to turn a height in cm into feet and inches, the Height Converter.
Product pages sometimes give garment measurements taken flat, such as the width across the chest from armpit to armpit. Double that figure to get the full circumference before comparing it with your chest, and expect the garment to measure more than your body, because clothes are cut with room to move.
