I need some help from European boardies regarding clothing sizes.

Sonic Youth 37 · 08.14.2008, 07:26 PM

okay, so I'm going to order a jersey (official football shirt) from Europe in the near future and the sizes have me fuddled. I wear a size Small shirt in US sizes. The shirts could stand to be longer but I have a very thin build and a Medium is huge on me throughout the torso and arm area. That being said, what would be my equivalent size in European size measures?

Here are the sizes listed from the site:
128
140
152
164
176
Small
Medium
Large
XL
XXL

I think Euro sizes are one size higher than the US ones. Like if you wear US M, then it's Euro L. US L is Euro XL. Etc. US S would be Euro M then.

american shirts are definately bigger! could work with the size up/down.

Small in America will be XXL anywhere else.

Hope that helps.

Yes, I've got some medium American-sized t-shirts and they're all pretty big.
And i've got a belly like a sailor.

I for certain wear an American Small. I'm 6 feet 1 inch tall and weigh 132 lbs. I'm not exactly the "typical american build".

08.15.2008, 10:13 AM

how much is 6 feet 1 inch in centimeters?
my weight is 152 lbs and 185 cm

already got it, you are as tall as I am but man, you are really really skinny arent you?

Sonic Youth 37 · 08.15.2008, 10:16 AM

Roughly 185cm. And yes, I'm really skinny and I've gained 8 or so pounds in the last 3 months.
