European clothing sizes often differ significantly from those in other parts of the world. Each country in Europe maintains its unique sizing standards, reflecting its cultural identity. If you're traveling from the USA, U.K., Australia, New Zealand, or Japan and plan to shop in Western Europe, understanding these differences can help simplify your experience.
The size conversion charts provided here aim to serve as a helpful guide for navigating international sizing. While we've made every effort to ensure the accuracy of the data, variations between manufacturers and even among collections from the same brand mean that exact matches cannot be guaranteed. Consider these charts as a general reference rather than a definitive solution.
For the best results, compare your measurements with a well-fitting and comfortable garment you already own. Match its dimensions to those shown in the charts, keeping the difference within a few centimeters for optimal accuracy.
Please note: These charts are intended as a REFERENCE ONLY.
Abbreviations: Cont. = Continental, M = Men, W = Women

Reference Guide for Measurements
- CHEST: Measure around the widest part of your chest, just under the arms.
- SHOULDERS: Measure across your back, starting from the top of your left shoulder seam to the top of your right shoulder seam.
- LENGTH: Measure from the base of the collar seam down to the bottom edge of the garment.
- SLEEVE: Measure from the top of the shoulder seam (or strap seam) down to the edge of the cuff.
Helpful Tips for Accurate Measurements
- For precise results, keep the measuring tape snug but not tight or loose. Ensure it follows the natural contour of your body.
- Chest Measurement: Stand naturally with your arms relaxed. Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, just beneath your armpits, and ensure it stays level all the way around. Remember to breathe normally. If you're choosing a coat, add a couple of inches to your chest size to allow room for layers and comfortable movement.
- Waist Measurement: Wrap the tape around your waist where you usually wear your trousers. If your waist measurement is larger than your chest measurement, use your waist size to determine the most suitable coat size from the chart.
