Copping Zone / Size & fit
Find your fit.
Different brands. Different cuts. Start with the measurements of the piece you want, then compare them with something you love wearing.

Start with the product.
Open Size guide on the product page. Each item has its own cut and measurements, even within the same brand.
Get a starting size.
Use height and weight for a clothing estimate, compare a garment you like, or enter your body measurements. For shoes, use the foot or insole measurement requested.
Check the proportions.
Compare width and length together. A hoodie can be roomy and short; jeans can be wide through the leg and fitted at the waist.
The most useful comparison
Measure a similar piece that already fits you well. Hoodie with hoodie. Jeans with jeans. Match the fabric, cut and waistband position as closely as possible.
One side. All the way around.
A flat width measures across one side of a garment. Circumference measures all the way around. Read the chart heading before comparing.
Double chest, waist or hip width only when you need the full circumference. Keep length, shoulders and sleeves as measured.
Example only — these numbers do not represent a recommended size.
In “Compare a garment”, our Size Suggestion asks for full chest, waist and hip circumferences. Follow the help text beside each field.
Meet your measuring tape.
Fasten buttons and zips. Lay clothing flat, smooth out folds and measure without stretching. Always follow the method shown in the product’s chart.
Tops & jackets

Select a measurement to highlight it.
For jackets, compare with a similar jacket worn over your usual layers. A cropped or boxy cut can be wide without being long.
Pants & shorts

Baggy legs do not guarantee a roomy waistband. Check waist and hips first, then length.
What about rise and leg opening?
Front rise runs from the crotch seam to the top of the front waistband. Leg opening is measured straight across the hem of one leg. Compare a similar rise: low-rise and high-rise waistbands sit at different points on your body.
Foot length
Illustration of the measuring method, not a size chart.
Foot length
- Place paper on a hard floor against a wall. Wear the socks you plan to use with the shoes.
- Stand with your heel gently against the wall and your weight evenly distributed. Mark the end of your longest toe.
- Measure straight from the wall to the mark. Repeat for the other foot and use the longer measurement.
- Compare with a chart explicitly labelled Foot length. Do not add extra room unless that product’s guide asks you to.
Does the chart say “Insole” or “Inner length”?
Measure a removable insole from a similar shoe that fits well, from heel to toe. Foot length and insole length are different: do not substitute one for the other.
Use the product’s own size chart. EU, UK and US labels — including men’s and women’s US sizes — are not a universal conversion.
Measuring your body?
Use a soft tape over light clothing. Keep it level and comfortably against your body, without pulling it tight.
Chest / bust
Measure around the fullest part, with your arms relaxed and breathing normally.
Waist
Measure around your natural waist unless the guide asks for another position. A trouser waistband may sit higher or lower.
Hips
Stand with your feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat.
Body and garment measurements are not interchangeable. Clothing needs room for movement, layers and its intended silhouette. In Size Suggestion, select “My body measurements” for these numbers.
Room, length, silhouette.

A few things worth knowing.
Can I order the same size across every brand?
Use your usual size as a starting point. Check each product’s measurements: an S in one style can be wider than an M in another. The same applies to different cuts within one brand.
What if I am between two sizes?
Compare the dimensions that matter most: chest for tops, waist and hips for bottoms, then length. More room can help with layering, but sizing up also changes proportions. A reference garment is more useful than choosing by the letter alone.
What do W28, S/28 or 2XL · W34 mean?
W refers to waist sizing, not gender. Combined labels pair a letter size with a waist reference, usually expressed in inches. Treat these as size labels: check the product chart for the garment’s actual measurements. The letter-to-number pairing varies by product.
How do I choose a unisex size?
Compare the garment’s measurements and shape with a piece you wear comfortably. There is no single men’s-to-women’s conversion that works across every brand. Chest or bust, waist, hips and length are more useful than the category label.
How do I measure skirts and dresses?
For skirts, compare waist, hips and length. For dresses, compare chest or bust, waist, hips and length where relevant to the cut. Lay a similar item flat and follow the chart’s measurement positions.
Can height and weight guarantee the right fit?
They provide a starting estimate. People with the same height and weight can have different proportions. For a closer check, compare a similar garment or enter the relevant body measurements, then review the product’s length and shape.
What if measurements are missing or unclear?
Ask us before ordering if the chart is missing, units are unclear, or you cannot tell whether a number is flat width or circumference. Small measurement differences can occur; follow any tolerance stated for that product.
