How to measure before converting clothing size
Chest for shirts
Measure around the fullest part of the chest and compare it with the brand guide whenever available.
Waist for pants
Measure where your pants normally sit. In jeans, US 32 usually means a 32-inch waist.
Inseam length
Inseam varies heavily by brand; use it together with waist size to avoid the right waist with the wrong length.
How to read international clothing sizes
Clothing equivalents are not as universal as they look: a pants size may be a waist measurement, while a shirt size may be alphabetic and each brand can fit differently.
