The sizing system for men’s clothing varies between different countries.

In the United States, dress shirt sizes are sometimes indicated by two numbers on the tag, for example, 15-32.

  • The first number, 15, refers to the neck size in inches.
  • The second number, 32, refers to the sleeve length in inches.

In Europe, dress shirt sizes are indicated by one number, for example, 37.

  • This number refers to the neck size in centimeters.
  • European dress shirts have a standard sleeve length.

In Japan, dress shirt sizes are indicated by one number, for example, 40.

  • This number refers to the neck size in centimeters.
  • Japanese dress shirts have a standard sleeve length.

Keep in mind that different brands may have slight variations in their sizing, so it’s best to check the size chart before buying.

To convert between the American, Japanese, and European sizing systems, you can use online size conversion charts or consult a size guide provided by the manufacturer or retailer.

When it comes to European dress shirt size, it includes different countries like French, German, Italian, Spanish, Swedish, Dutch, and Portuguese as well.

This app was super useful for setting up size charts for a wide variety of different product types in our store. Our previous app was tag-based, which was not sustainable for our company. Kiwi uses condition-based product matching which is super easy and logical to set up; now we can leave everything be and new products will automatically have size charts with no extra work. — CKS Online

Tips for finding perfect-fitting men’s clothing

When shopping for clothes, it’s important to find the perfect fit to ensure comfort and style. Here are some unique tips for finding perfectly fitting clothes:

  1. Measure yourself before shopping: Use a tape measure to take your measurements for the chest, waist, hips, and inseam. Compare these measurements to the size charts provided by manufacturers or retailers to determine your size.
  2. Consider the fabric: Different fabrics have different stretch and give, which can affect the fit of the clothes. Keep this in mind when trying on clothes, and choose fabrics that are comfortable and flexible.
  3. Check the fit type: Do check the different fit types for shirts and pants and their sizes. A relaxed fit will be more comfortable than skinny or slim-fit styles for the same size. Also pay attention to details like the type of collar, the cut of the neckline, or the shape of the pockets. These details can affect the overall fit and look of the clothes.
  4. Keep note of the return policy: While these international size conversion charts will help you find the perfect set of men’s clothing, sizes do vary between brands. That is why always check for the brand’s return policy before shopping. 

How to use size conversion charts?

Using the above men’s international size conversion chart is easy. For example, if you’re on an online store that shoes EU sizes follow the steps below:

  • First, check the US size of the piece of clothing you already have and are comfortable in.
  • Find the US size in the above size conversion table.
  • In the same row under the EU column, find the appropriate EU size for you. 

This will give you the perfect fitting clothing when shopping in international men’s clothing stores. 

How do I measure men’s clothing size?

To measure your men’s clothing size, you will need a tape measure. Here are the measurements you will need to take:

  • Chest measurement: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape measure parallel to the floor.
  • Waist measurement: Measure around the narrowest part of your waist, keeping the tape measure parallel to the floor.
  • Torso length measurement: To get the perfect length, measure from the highest part of the collar to the right where the t-shirt ends. Make sure to measure in a straight line from the top to the bottom.
  • Inseam measurement: If you’re measuring men’s pants, you need the inseam length too. Measure from the top of your inside leg at the crotch to the bottom of your ankle to get the perfect inseam.
