Men's Clothing Conversion

Sizes for gloves, socks, and stockings are the same in both the US, Europe and Asia. Sock sizes correspond to the length of your foot. In addition to the sizes in our calculator, clothing sometimes uses approximate size measures, such as XS (Extra Small), S (Small), M (Medium), L (Large), and XL (Extra Large). These letters are especially common on T-shirts. Each letter may represent a range of two or three numbered sizes. International students from Asia should expect their large to correspond to a medium in the United States. But it is best to try on the clothing for fit, because there is little consistency among manufacturers worldwide. Men's shirt and pants sizes are generally consistent since they reflect the actual size of their dimensions in inches. Men's shirt sizes measures the circumference of the neck and are mostly consistent. If a second number is listed, such as 15-32, it is usually the sleeve length (15 being the nick size), and runs from 32 to 36 inches. Men's pants are sized using the waist measurement and the inseam measurement. The inseam is the distance from crotch to hem. Men's coats are measured according to chest size, measuring under the arms. Men's hat sizes measure the diameter of the hat if it were structured as a perfect circle. There are two accepted sizing methods for men's hats. To obtain your hat measurements using method one, measure the circumference of your head across the forehead and just below the curve of the skull in back and divide the result by Pi (3.14159). In method two, measure around your head about 3/4 of an inch above ear where your hat will be worn. A cloth tape measure such as a seamstress or tailor uses is ideal for this job. It is usually helpful to have someone help you. Pull the tape tight to measure within 1/8". Read off the number and use the hat chart below to determine your hat size. In the US, each whole shoe size differs by 1/3 of an inch. In Europe, whole shoe sizes differ by 2/3 of a centimeter (about 1/4 of an inch). This makes the correspondences between US and European shoe sizes only approximate at best. European shoe sizes are the same for men and women. In the US a woman's shoe is about 1 to 1-1/2 sizes greater than the same length men's shoe. Infant shoe sizes run from 0 (4 inches) to 13 (8-1/4 inches). These correspond to European sizes 15 to 31. Boy's shoe sizes run from 1 (8-1/2 inches) to 12 (12-1/4 inches). Add 1 to the boy's size to get the equivalent girl's size. Of course, there's a lot of variability, particularly in widths, so it is imperative to try on a shoe before purchasing. As is the expression, if the shoe fits, wear it. Clothing sizes for babies are a nightmare, with several systems of measurement. The most common systems are the age system and the weight system. A good rule of thumb is to multiply the child's age by two, so that the clothing will fit for more than a month. Good luck and good fit to you! You may also like to try:
