The popularity of American brands is so great that you can hardly meet a person who does not wear American Eagle, Jack Huose or New Yourk & Company. US outerwear sizes differ significantly from domestic ones: so as not to make a mistake and purchase suitable thing, you need to know the relationship between your own parameters and foreign ones.

How to determine the American outerwear size for men?

When purchasing goods from America, a person is faced with the problem of choosing a size. This is due to the fact that the main unit of measurement in the USA is the inch. One inch is equal to 2.54 cm. For convenience, our table presents the dimensions in centimeters.

All American sizes outerwear are designated by the following letters: XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL. Each corresponds to a certain parameter: chest, waist, neck, sleeve and back length.

For example, size L corresponds to 104 cm. The waist is 94 cm. Sleeve length is 63 cm. This size corresponds to 52 domestic size.

In the grid of American outerwear sizes, all parameters are clearly stated. However, it is worth noting that some manufacturers use a number, rather than a letter, to indicate the size of a product. Be careful when calculating your parameters. Before buying a jacket, coat or jacket from a certain brand, find out what sizing chart it uses.

How to determine the American outerwear size for women

In order to easily and accurately determine your own size, you need to know full height, chest, waist and hip circumference. You can find out the correspondence of sizes to parameters from our table.

An important point: do not buy outerwear one size larger: American brands make things quite loose. In addition, women's outerwear sizes correspond to international ones, which simplifies their conversion to domestic ones.

When purchasing foreign items, it often becomes a problem to match the numbers on the tags. Size charts different countries are different. If in Europe the most popular are letter designations, then measurements in the USA are represented by numbers from 0 to 40. The most popular are designations from 4 to 16. To translate American clothing sizes into Russian, you can use already ready-made diagrams correspondences To ensure reliable results, you should take measurements and select your American item number based on taken measurements body volumes.

When translating American clothing sizes into Russian, you do not have to deal with translating letter designations. The American identification grid is represented by numbers. If you need to convert the size of an item from the USA to an international standard (XS, S, M, l, XL, etc.), you can use the diagrams for converting the US size to European or match the Russian number of the European one, and then convert the American clothing size to Russian, and Russian - into European. Such confusion in meanings most often occurs when buying second-hand items, when it can be difficult to find out the country of manufacture, and to calculate required size

- even more difficult. At the same time, it is recommended to choose clothes that can be tried on, without relying solely on the designation on the tag.

To translate the digital designation of a parameter of a thing from Russian to the USA, you must use the diagrams intended for this. The peculiarity of the data below is that it also contains data on body volumes for the most popular parameters, the range of which allows these clothes. Thus, if there is any doubt about the correspondence of digital designations, you can take a measurement and calculate the desired number.

Female

Translating women's normative series from US designations to Russian ones is not difficult. Knowing the Russian number, any woman can make matches in the table below and determine her number in the US system. For more accurate results It is recommended to measure your parameters again. By selecting the appropriate value in the scheme, you can find out the necessary data. For example, a girl has number 46, according to Russian system

USA

Male When transferring these men's items from Russian to America, you should use the same rights as when transferring women's items. It should be noted that the men's and women's size charts do not match in numbers, so when choosing men's clothing you cannot rely on the measurement system indicated in the table for women. For example, if a girl has a Russian number 46, then according to women's net She is a US size eight. If young man Number 46 corresponds to US size 6. Thus, girls choosing a gift for their boyfriend should not be guided by women's table

Children's For children preschool age

there are no divisions in the parameters of things. Differences for girls and boys begin around the age of 6-7 years. The table below shows the compliance with US standards according to the physical parameters of a child under 6 years of age. At the age of 6 years and older, the nets for boys and girls are different. For school-age children, it is recommended to make a selection using the tables below, while simultaneously taking measurements child's body. For convenient calculations, the table also shows the possible height range of the child. Below is the size chart for girls.

Below is a table designed to determine the norm for boys over 6 years old.

Other nuances

When choosing trousers, shorts and skirts, in order to reliably determine the number, it is recommended to measure your hip width. Moreover, breast volume can be ignored. The same goes for choosing shirts for men.

When determining the norm, it is better to start not from the maximum, but from the minimum mark of permissible volume parameters. Thus, the item will fit better on the body, and in the case of a child, he will be able to wear it longer.

Since Americans apply the same digital designations that may be accepted in other countries, in order not to make a mistake when choosing a number, it is recommended to also look for the country of manufacture on the tag.

The diagrams below help convert Russian sizes to American and US clothing sizes to Russian. In order for the result to be as clear as possible, it is recommended to rely on digital designations and measurements of the physical parameters of the body. It is recommended to measure body values ​​immediately before purchasing an item, and the results should be updated at least once every six months for women and men and at least once a month for children, since they grow faster.

When buying clothes, shoes or headwear, the main thing is that the size indicated on it matches your parameters. How to figure out the sizes on the tag if clothes arrive on our shelves from different countries, for example, from America or Europe?

There is no single standard in the world, only in Europe there has been an attempt to introduce a common EN standard. But the pan-European standard is not always indicated on the label. But what about clothes from the USA or China: their sizing parameters differ sharply, and American sizes are sometimes indicated in inches. Even in centimeters we cannot always determine what size we need.

The sizing system adopted in Russia has existed for a long time, but European and American designations do not coincide with it. How can buyers avoid making mistakes in such cases? It’s even more difficult for people ordering clothes from an online store.

Revealing the meaning of unfamiliar units

To make your choice easier correct size a dress or trousers you like, sometimes it’s enough to convert unknown units of measurement into familiar ones. The following information will be very useful for many:

• 1 inch is equal to 2.54 centimeters;
• 1 centimeter corresponds to 0.39 inches.

In the same way, you can decipher any unfamiliar parameters that may appear on the label of an item brought from a distant country.

Let's begin to understand the sizes existing in the world.

American major

Unlike Russian and European ones, American sizes are represented by a ruler from 0 to 22. Many have already learned to distinguish their international analogue in letter designation. There are six main sizes:

Extra small - XS;

Small - S;

Medium - M;

Large - L;

Extra large - XL;

Larger than extra large - XXL.

The fuller and larger the person, the larger the ruler parameter required for him. For this case, American clothing sizes are combined into XL size groups. The number of X's in front of the letter L shows the size (than more letters, the larger the item), there can be a maximum of 8 pieces. Accordingly, sizes for large people will be special: from 24 to 28 or more.

Translation rule

Many sellers, using existing patterns, convert American sizes to Russian and put them on the label. This is done to make it easier for customers to select products, since few people can navigate the full variety of dimensions. How to get a domestic one from an American parameter? They take a foreign size 46, subtract 10 from it, and you get a Russian size 36. Everything is very simple. But this only applies to men's clothing. To determine whether American sizes correspond to Russian or European ones, it is better to use special tables. But you should know: when purchasing any items from the USA, especially through online stores, be sure to check the parameters, sometimes they differ. If possible, ask for specific measurements - a seller concerned about his reputation will most likely provide them to you.

Women's sizes

To determine American sizes of women's clothing, you need to subtract the number 34 from Russian. For example, 48 Russian will correspond to 14 American. European sizes obtained by subtracting the number 6 from the Russians. Take the 46 indicated on the label, minus 6 and get the 40th European.

Women's outerwear in Russian sizes is easily translated into American designations. Just use the hint below:

Russian/US/International/Europe Size:

• 40/6/XS/34;
• 42/8/XS/36;
• 44/10/S/38;
• 46/12/M/40;
• 48/14/M/42;
• 50/16/L/44;
• 52/18/XL/46;
• 54/20/XL/48;
• 56/22/XXL/50.

On women's clothing, the American designation may include the letters P or L. They mean:

P - clothes for women up to 165 centimeters tall,

L - for tall ones, over 182 centimeters.

American clothing sizes for adult women are marked as even, odd numbers are used for young teenage girls.

They will match Russian sizes(American/Russian):

• 0(XXS)/38;
• 1(XS)/40;
• 3(S)/42;
• 5(S)/44;
• 7(M)/46;
• 9(L)/48;
• 11(L)/50.

In order not to make a mistake, when choosing clothes you need to know the girth of the bust, waist and chest - this is best parameters to correctly determine the desired model.

Men's sizes

In a similar way, you can translate American men's markings into Russian for the convenience of selecting trousers and shirts. For outerwear, the correspondence will be as follows (Russian size/US size):

• 46-48/36-38;
• 48-50/38-40;
• 50-52/40-42;
• 52-54/42-44;
• 54-56/56-58.

There is a pattern of difference: to convert American sizes to Russian, it is enough to subtract the number 10 from our designation or add the same amount to the American one. For a more accurate selection of clothes, you need to know the waist and chest circumference, and when choosing a shirt, also the neck circumference.

The sizes of men's shirts (shirts) from American to Russian are translated as follows: size 37 corresponds to 14.5 inches, size 38 corresponds to 15 inches. Here again you can use the calculator.

Shirt size 39-40 translated into American will be 15 1/2 inches, each subsequent parameter increases by 0.5 inches. The international designation will correspond, starting from 37 to 38 - S, 39-40 - M, 41-43 - L, 44 - XL, 45 - XXL.

On men's clothing There may be letters, what do they mean? The answer is simple - the tags for men under 170 centimeters tall are marked S. For average heights from 170 to 182 centimeters, they are marked R. Clothes for tall men above 182 centimeters are marked with the letter L. Outerwear for people taller than 190 centimeters it is marked with the letters XL.

Children's sizes

There should be no problems with buying clothes for babies under two years old: American children's sizes are indicated in an original way- according to the age.

But not all children correspond to such a system for determining sizes, since the development of each follows an individual trend. Therefore, to make it easier to choose clothes, the child’s height measurements are given in centimeters. The American size chart for children under two years old will look like this (size/height, cm):

• new/43-49;
• 3 months/50-58;
• 6 months/59-66;
• 9 months/67-72;
• 12 months/73-76;
• 18 months/77-81;
• 24 months/82-89.

For older children (up to eight years old inclusive), the size system also depends on age and height. This size group is conventionally called kids. Starts with size 2T:

• 2T corresponds to height 92-94 cm;
• 3T - height 98-100 cm;
• 4T - height 104-106 cm;
• 5 - height 108-110 cm;
• 6 - height 116-118 cm;
• 7 - height 120-122 cm;
• 8 - height 126-128 cm.

For children over 8 years old, other sizes are provided; starting from this age, there is a division into boys and girls. This series is called Juniors, it corresponds to ages from 8 to 14 years. These sizes take into account not only the height, but also the volume of the children’s figure.

Clothing for babies is one of the most sought-after and popular products not only in our country, but throughout the world. Therefore, today we will talk about how to translate child size US clothes into Russian, how they differ and other important details.

How to determine your parameters and find the right clothes?

A product exists as long as there is demand for it - this is a well-known axiom for all Russian businessmen. And this applies directly to children's clothing. The US children's size table differs significantly from our grid not only in designations, but also in parameters. But, despite the difference in measurements, clothes and shoes for children are needed in every country, not just in the USA, and people have to find a compromise. Experienced clothing store sellers are learning to translate American clothing sizes into Russian for children, their parents and caring relatives.

The correspondence between US and Russian sizes for children's clothing can be determined using special tables.

For preschool children, when ordering clothes online, for example, on Aliexpress or similar sites, you need to indicate not only height, but also chest, waist or hip circumference, depending on the product you are going to purchase.

If your child is over six or seven years old, you need to decide on a line of American clothing sizes for children. In Europe, the designation grid differs (third option) from the American and Russian ones - there are children's and adult options. Clothes for children from the USA are divided into the following groups:

For babies. Height + chest girth – the main parameters. The designation “M” is from the English month, i.e. months, or with numbers from 42 to 88. Suitable for a child aged from birth to three months baby suit from 43 to 58 centimeters. Romper or vest for height from 58 to 65 centimeters suitable for a child three to six months. Next in the US line of measurements is the age of 6-9 months, and it corresponds to the numbers 67-72. For one-year-old babies There are children's overalls with a height of 72-77. The next two points of the grid are for ages 1.5 and 2 years, height 77-82 and 82-88 centimeters, respectively.

For preschoolers. Height + weight. In the USA they are designated by the letters T, X, S. Remember that the same letters do not indicate that the measurements match. 2T, 3T,4T, less often 4.5T - here the numbers serve as an indicator of the child’s age. Special tables indicate the appropriate height and weight. If the weight is more than specified, and the height corresponds, it is better to take a larger item. XXS, XS, X/S – denoting five, six and six-seven years.

For schoolchildren. This includes the youngest school age And teenage years(up to 14 years old). Please note that US children's clothing sizes are different for boys and girls.

For young people. This is a separate line that combines children's and adult styles. As for sizes, in the USA adult marks are used, in Europe - children's marks, with the addition of an X.

Most often, young mothers are faced with the problem of choice, less often - fathers who have just acquired their own child, but also seasoned parents They are not lagging behind them in this regard. Modern moms and dads, in search of the right thing, will quickly convert American sizes of children's clothing into Russian ones, using the help of the Internet or “calling mom.” But what if there is neither one nor the other?

What is needed to determine the required designation?

Regardless of where you are going to purchase the product - at the market, in a store, in a boutique or via the Internet in America or China, you need to take measurements in advance. For babies whose age has not yet reached two years, it is necessary to measure their height. Russian children's size for such babies is measured precisely according to this indicator; in the USA, weight is often also needed. Sometimes, in addition to height, age is also indicated on a child’s tag. Choosing things according to age is not very good good idea because everyone's development is different. And a child a year can wear something that is designed for one and a half or two years - take this into account when choosing things.
