Size m men's parameters. How to determine men's clothing size
– a very simple and convenient tool. Guys, like girls, want to look stylish and beautiful. However, men often need to determine their clothing sizes. This need becomes even more obvious when the purchase is made from an online store abroad.
There really is a lot to get confused about here. Many countries have their own size charts. It is quite difficult to determine which, for example, Chinese size corresponds to the domestic one. It is to help in such cases that our new service has been developed. We have collected in one place many tables of sizes of clothes, shoes and other things for men, women and children. The table of men's sizes (jackets, jumpers, vests, dressing gowns, sweaters, jackets, shirts) makes it possible to convert men's clothing sizes from 44 to 70.
The same page shows the sizes of “men's trousers, shorts” from 44 to 70. Men's jeans from 44 to 62. Shirts from 42 to 58 sizes.
Our size charts are easy to use on both desktop computers and mobile devices. On a mobile device, you can view the size chart by moving it with your finger up/down, right/left. For your convenience, you can select the size of clothing you are interested in. To do this, click on the size you are interested in. The line with it will be highlighted. You will be able to move the size chart left and right and see other sizes that match the highlighted one.

Modern men love shopping no less than women. Therefore, we increasingly see male representatives in branded clothing or a stylish suit. It is difficult to find suitable things at the bazaar or in a store, so everyone goes shopping online.
On the Internet you can find branded items at low prices, offer a wide range and convenient delivery. The only difficulty that all buyers face is the problem of choosing a size.
How to find out your men's clothing size? Taking measurements
As a rule, for a successful purchase on the Internet, it is enough to take the correct measurements and select the size of the item according to the table. If using the table is not difficult, then to measure your body parameters, you need to follow some rules:
- Involve a second person to measure the parameters. If you do this yourself, the values may be incorrect.
- Wear the clothes (underwear) that you will wear with the purchased item. Before measuring parameters, be sure to put on a T-shirt, shirt, shorts or other things that you will be wearing.
- Caught between two sizes? Choose the one you like best. If you like things that are tight, take a size smaller. Do you like to wear loose clothes? Choose a larger size.
How to take measurements from a man? ( Example of symbols in the picture on the right)
- Neck circumference(1). Measured at the base of the neck. Wrap the tape around your neck so that the measuring tape passes just above the jugular cavity, and behind the base point.
- Bust(2). Wrap a measuring tape around the most prominent points on your chest.
- Waist circumference(3). Wrap the tape around your waist, keeping it horizontal when measuring.
- Hip girth(4). When measuring, the tape should pass through the most protruding parts of the buttocks.
- Leg length at inseam(5). Distance from groin to ankle.
- The length of the sleeve(6). Measure the distance from the top of your shoulder to the line where the sleeve ends.
- Shoulder width(7). Measure the distance from the edge of one shoulder to the other. Hold the tape in front of you.

Rules for caring for clothes
Outerwear
As a rule, outerwear is especially susceptible to contamination and the formation of unpleasant odors. To prevent the appearance of a musty smell, you need to dry your jacket, raincoat or coat well after a walk outside. The most effective way to dry is to place items on hangers. In this case, it will not wrinkle or lose its shape, and will dry evenly in all places. It is better to hang the jacket in this form on the balcony, where it will be ventilated.
Particular attention should be paid to the hanger. Only one item should hang on it, and it should fit the size of the item being stored. Otherwise, deformation and stretching of the material is possible.
Underwear
To ensure that your underwear lasts for a long time, we recommend following the care and washing instructions on the tag. A more detailed description of the icons can be found on our website.
Jeans
Many people wash their jeans almost every day after wearing them. This should not be done, since denim is quite durable and can be cleaned with an ordinary kitchen sponge. You can also hang them in the bathroom so they can steam while you shower or bathe. In this case, you can wash them once every six months.
Clothing and accessories presented in the Men's Fashion Gallery chain of salons are produced in different countries and have different size markings. To understand unknown abbreviations and set the value of the desired size, information tables are presented below. The tables demonstrate the proposed size range of products and establish correspondence between Russian and foreign sizing systems.
SHIRTS
To ensure that the shirt fits well, is comfortable, convenient and matches your body type, you need to determine the size correctly.
Russian shirt size is determined by measuring chest circumference. The resulting value should be divided by two to obtain the size of the product.
On shirts from European manufacturers, sizes are indicated by letter abbreviations: S (“small”) – small, M (“middle”) – medium, L (“large”) – large, X (“extra”) – extra. Below is the correspondence of Russian clothing sizes to international and American ones.
1 – chest width, 2 – waist width, 3 – hip width, 4 – height.
Shirt sizes are based not only on bust measurement; many manufacturers mark the product according to collar size. To set the collar size you need, measure the circumference of your neck at the base as shown in the picture (in centimeters).
To ensure freedom of movement and avoid neck compression, add one or two centimeters to the resulting figure.
On American shirts, sizes are often indicated in inches. In this case, divide the neck circumference in centimeters by two and a half.
Shirts are produced in a wide variety of silhouettes; fitted (“Slim”) models are especially popular, creating a defined silhouette and demonstrating the advantages of the figure. The parameters of such shirts are presented in the following table.
* - the scheme for measuring the parameters indicated in the table is presented below.
1 - shoulder width, 2 - sleeve length, 3 - back length,
4 - chest circumference, 5 - waist circumference.

The measurement diagram is shown in the figure.
The lengths of jeans are collected in groups and correlated with certain height intervals.

Types of male figures
When a man chooses which clothing size will suit him, one should also pay attention to his body type. There are four main types of figures:
- oval;
- triangle;
- rectangle;
- trapezoid
The trapezoid is considered the most attractive and correct. Most items, in a variety of sizes, are designed for men with this body type. If he has a triangle-type figure, it is more difficult for him to choose a suit or trousers, since the width of his hips is larger than the standard one.
It is recommended to take separate measurements of all body parameters and choose an item according to the data obtained. This may mean that the jacket and trouser numbers will be different. However, only in this case will the suit fit perfectly.
When choosing, you should give preference to a larger suit.
How to measure your parameters
To correctly determine men's clothing sizes, you need to know your body girth correctly. The above diagrams indicate the range of acceptable limits. The fit of the item on the body will depend on the correctness of the measurements taken. How to take measurements correctly is described below.
Above were tables of correspondence between the sizes of men's clothing and the physical parameters of the body. Clothing sizes for men should be selected after measuring the physical parameters of the body. This is the only way to determine the exact item number.

The life of a modern person is characterized by busyness and lack of free time. It’s not always possible to arrange a full-fledged shopping trip with a trip to boutiques, but, as always, the Internet comes to the rescue.
How to find out your clothing size so as not to make a mistake when placing an order online? To do this, it is enough to have tables at hand and have the information:
Determining clothing sizes: basic measurements
The size of clothing can be determined solely based on individual parameters. There are basic and control (or additional) measurements, and they may differ in men's and women's assortments. In any case, you need to take off everything, and which ones will be useful during remote purchasing will be seen from the tables of men's, women's and children's clothing of a certain assortment.
Basic measurements:
- Height (P) - distance from the floor to the top of the head with a straight back;
- Chest girth (CG) - measured in the widest part of the torso: along the back a line passes under the shoulder blades, along the chest - through the most protruding points;
- Waist circumference (WT) - measurement in the narrowest area of the torso: if in doubt, “where we will make the waist” - place your hands on your belt so that it is comfortable for you, and lay a measuring tape on top of your fingers. The tape should be slightly above the navel and positioned strictly parallel to the horizontal plane;
- Hip circumference (HG) - measured at the most protruding points of the pelvis (on the sides) and buttocks. If people have a hanging belly, the measuring tape should never be lowered or placed under it.
To determine the Russian size, these measurements are sufficient. According to the approved GOST, the label indicates: Height/chest girth + 3rd dimension, which specifies the full group. Size = ? OG, the line starts with size 18 (for newborns) and ends with size 72 (men's range), step - 2 units (+4 to girth).
When planning to purchase trousers, just in case, measure the length of your leg on the outside and inside (the system of different countries may use the first or second measurements). The goal is a new shirt: neck circumference (NC) is a mandatory parameter that will be indicated on the label.
There are several metric systems, in addition to the Russian ruler - European, American, international, separate for denim and knitwear. Metric tables differ not only for men and women, but also for different countries.
How to determine your clothing size for men's or women's? You will need a measuring tape, the help of a friend and pivot tables. If the parameters do not correspond perfectly to the values, the permissible errors are +/- 1 cm for the half-circumferences. The final figure is determined by the largest unit of measurement. In this case, you can be sure that the item will not be too tight and cause discomfort. All models are developed taking into account increases in freedom of fit. The tables, due to the physique characteristics of men and women, are different; there are individual recommendations in choosing suitable things for representatives of different genders and certain body types.
How to determine clothing size for men
How to find out your men's clothing size if the numbering differs from the Russian one? In this case, you won’t be able to figure it out without tables. In cases where numbers are written on the label, it is somewhat simpler: if you know the system, you can carry out simple arithmetically calculations and find your size that corresponds to the grid of your home country. But what if the label contains mysterious Latin letters, accepted in the metrology of knitted items? The correspondence between Russian and international sizes of men's clothing can only be found in tables.

How to determine the sizes of children's clothing? Table
The most difficult thing is to choose children's things. At different stages of development, certain body parameters change, so metrologists in different countries have their own unified approach: you can see the size determined by the height or age of the child.
The easiest way to determine children's size is to use a pivot table.
