Clothes from Germany are in great demand due to the stereotype about the high quality of German things. However, for those who are accustomed to Russian sizes, it can be very difficult to choose for themselves the right thing, if it cannot be tried on, for example, when purchasing in an online store or from a catalog. Information on size ratios is very accessible today, including the ratio of German and Dutch sizes and sizes of other countries to Russian ones.

European and German clothing sizes: matching

If you want to make a purchase and don't know your German clothing size, don't worry. A little patience and this problem will be resolved quickly.

1. For German sizes women's clothing height matters. The simplest and The right way translating German clothing size into Russian - subtract 8 from the number indicating Russian size. Simply put, if in the Russian line you have size 48, but in the German catalog your item will be size 40.

2. Much also depends on the type of clothing. For example, when choosing blouses, T-shirts or jumpers, the chest circumference becomes of primary importance; when buying corsets - waist circumference; The choice of jeans, trousers, shorts and skirts is determined by the circumference of the hips and waist, as well as height.

A general table of the ratio of German sizes will greatly facilitate your choice, however, you should also take into account the individual characteristics of the figure that each person has and affect how the clothes fit on the figure. Therefore, you should very carefully measure the most important parameters, such as the circumference of the hips, chest and waist.

People's feet differ not only in size, but also in fullness, instep height, foot width, etc. Therefore, shoe manufacturers use different lasts. It is better, of course, to know your last and the manufacturer whose products are ideal for your foot size.

Leather is considered the most ideal material for shoes, since it can adapt to any foot. And when buying shoes from the catalog, you can be sure of the quality of the products. But one thing is important here - if you order shoes from manufacturers in other countries, its size also changes.

For example, German shoe sizes differ slightly from Russian ones, and to select the correct pair, you need to look at the shoe size correspondence table for a given country.

To determine the German shoe size in Russian (the size ratio table will help with this), you need to know the width and height of the shin, as well as the height of the heel

German sizes are not much different from Russian ones. But it’s worth knowing a few nuances that will help you quickly and accurately determine the correct foot size.

The difference between German sizes is that not only the foot and instep are measured, but also the width and height of the lower leg, and the height of the heel.

Therefore, when selecting or translating German shoe sizes into Russian, in addition to the foot size table, The following parameters must be taken into account:

• Schaftweite is the widest part of the boot.
• Schafthohe - shows the height of the shin from the heel to its widest part.
• Absatz – designation of heel height.

What you need to know to determine German shoe size

To quickly determine the correct German shoe size, you must first know your foot measurements. To purchase any shoes, measure the length of the sole. If the shoes are high (for example, boots), then you also need to know the height and width of the shin.

The width of the leg is indicated by the corresponding letter:

• F – normal leg width;
• G – means wide leg;
• J – shoes too wide;
• K is the widest shoe.

The German shoe size may differ from other European sizes in the absence of the H designation between G and J. Thus, in the English size the table indicates big sizes, as H, J, K, and the symbol G means average width. Translating into Russian, we can attribute maximum size to the numbers 10, 11, 12.

How to take measurements correctly to determine shoe size

To determine and translate it into Russian, you can find out the German shoe size by measuring the length of your foot, and then selecting the line corresponding to the resulting number in the size table.

An adult can take measurements only once, remember them and apply them every time he buys shoes. And children need to measure their feet before each new purchase, since their feet are constantly growing and the size changes accordingly.

You need to measure your feet correctly using the following method:

1. put a sheet of paper on the floor and place your bare foot on it;
2. outline the leg with a pencil;
3. measure along the length from the heel to the highest point (for example, this could be the end of the big toe).

It is also worth considering that if the shoes are worn on the sock, then the foot should be in the sock when taking measurements.

To determine the correct size, you need to measure both feet. And if one foot turns out to be larger than the other, then you should choose shoes for the larger foot.

To measure the shin, you need to find its widest part, mark and measure the width. Then you need to measure the length of the lower leg from the heel (from the floor) to the intended line.

For example, for a size 37 foot, the width of the lower leg of a person of normal build will be approximately 34 cm, and the height to the edge of the boot will be 38 cm.

But this size is very difficult to calculate when non-standard proportions body, because with the same size 37 complete man the parameters will be significantly larger than those indicated.

In almost all European countries (for example, Italy, France, Spain, England and others) things correspond to the Russian meaning.

Which indicate the ratio of European and Russian clothing sizes:

Size chart in centimeters and Latin values

If the item number is unknown, it can be found out very simply: all grids with parameters include certain values ​​in centimeters for the volume of the chest, hips and height. Next, a table showing the ratio of clothing sizes is shown, which determines these indicators and will help you find out the appropriate item numbers:

latin letter	S	M	L	XL	XXL

Hips (centimeters)	96	100	104	108	112
Height, cm	below 164	164-170	170-176	176-182	above 182

Children's parameters

The ratio of height and clothing size for children is explained by means of the table below.

Things for men: finding out the necessary indicators

The ratio of sizes should be carried out, armed with a measuring centimeter. Next, you need to determine the volume of the chest in the armpit area, the girth of the neck, hips and waist. You also need to know the length of your arms and legs and the width of your shoulders. But measurements alone are not enough - it is important appearance evaluate your figure, weight and height.

There are 4 body types to consider:

• Size N is designed for a standard figure over 162 centimeters tall.
• Size B is clothing for men who have a small tummy and are over 162 cm tall. This indicator plays a big role when choosing trousers and denim products.
• Size S - suitable for thin men with a height of 179 cm.
• Size U - these items are suitable for men with a standard figure and height shorter than 162 cm.

The ratio of clothing sizes in different countries is shown in the table.

Denim pants sizes

The usual standards do not apply to jeans. The main parameters when choosing them are height, inseam length and waist size.

Size	Inseam	Height
30	72-78 centimeters	170-174 centimeters
32	78-84 centimeters	174-178 centimeters
34	84-90 centimeters	178-182 centimeters
36	over 90	182-186 centimeters

Underwear: size chart

In the USA and Russia, such products have differences. The Russian main criterion for determining size is breast volume, which is divided in half. For example, with a girth of 92 cm, the underwear will be number 46. Russian size 42 corresponds to the eighth American, and then: 44-10, 46-12, 48-14, 50-16, 52-18, 54-20 , 56-22.

For curvy ladies

Some parameters are considered higher than standard and include items from sizes 50 to 70. The maximum is 72. These products are made for ladies who are overweight or tall. The main criteria that determine the size are the volume of the chest and hips. Often a non-standard figure is distinguished by a discrepancy in the defining parameters, and then you should select items of a number that is determined by the largest girths.

Chest (centimeters) / hips (centimeters) / size: 99/102-109/112-50, 103/106-113/116-52, 107/110-117/120-54, 111/114-122/126- 56, 115/118-127/130-58, 119/122-132/135-60, 123/126-137/140-62, 127/130-142/145-64, 131/134-147/150- 66, 135/138-152/156-68, 139/142-157/160-70. This table will help ladies with the selection of many items of clothing.

Choosing trousers, shorts and skirts

When choosing such outfits, the main criteria are the volume of the hips and waist. Height is also important, but not critical, because if the product is too long, it can be adjusted. This parameter is needed so that they are not purchased short skirts or trousers. The Russian standard corresponds to the international classification, but differs from the sizing chart in Europe and America.

Outerwear

This includes jackets, fur coats, sweaters, coats, cardigans. Such clothes are sewn using standard measurements. The required product number is calculated based on height, chest, hip and waist measurements. The ratio of clothing sizes corresponds to the international letter classification.

Dresses

In Russia, they are produced based on the size of the figure, taking into account height, chest, hips and waist. Many manufacturers of these products also take into account the length of the sleeves.

Swimwear and underwear

Russian markings correspond to European sizes. They take into account the number and size of the cup, as well as the volume measured under the breasts. In France and Italy, such products are labeled differently, similar to how they are done in the USA and Australia. The indicators also depend on the model of the swimsuit: it can be one-piece or separate. There are four parameters by which the size ratio of swimwear is determined - bust circumference, volume under it, waist and hip measurements.

Shoes: nuances of choice

In Russia, size is determined by the length of the foot. Other countries use the shoe's insole in inches or centimeters as this parameter.

The systems by which shoes are numbered differ radically in different countries:

• International standard. The foot length is taken as the shoe number. It is measured from the heel to the most protruding toe - the shape of the last does not play a role. This system is also used in Russia.
• English system - measured by the insole. The smallest number in this system is zero and is equal to four inches. A recently born baby has exactly this size of foot.
• European system - in it the length is determined by the insole. The unit of measurement is the pin, which is equal to 6.7 mm. As a rule, the length of the insole is approximately 1 cm longer than that of the foot.
• The American system is similar to the English one.

It is important to remember that the most ideal option When choosing shoes, there is a fitting. And then, knowing the size and choosing your favorite manufacturer, you can safely place orders.

Those with short stature should take into account the length of the sleeves and back in order to choose the right model that will fit the owner perfectly. When ordering children's clothing, remember that babies grow up quickly, so it is better to take something with a small supply. Pay special attention to products from Asian countries, because almost all of their products are a size or two smaller than Russian ones.

When ordering clothes from online stores, you should ask questions about size chart consultant. They will provide detailed information about the model that caught their attention. Also, many specialized sites are equipped with a calculator that automatically translates all the necessary parameters.

The Germans are extremely scrupulous in everything, even in terms of clothing sizes. And their sizing system is a retail nightmare. But our recommendations and table data will help you make the right choice.

Let's try to understand this system - there are two types of distribution by height:

1. 165-175 cm (Gr 1 to 5), 175-185 cm (Gr 6 to 11), 185-195 (Gr 12 to 16) and 195-205 (Gr 17 to 20)
2. 160-170 cm (Gr 1 to 5), 170-180 cm (Gr 6 to 11), 180-190 (Gr 12 to 16) and 190-200 (Gr 17 to 20)

Some things are sized according to the first type, and some according to the second. For each type we provide a table on the website.

Within each growth, sizes are distributed by volume.

Pants in FLECTARN colors

Everything is simple here. Determine your height, measure your waist, check your hips, measure the inner and outer seams of your existing trousers. If you do everything carefully, it is impossible to make a mistake.

The size in this table does NOT apply to trousers in colors TROPENTARN(desert). When choosing tropentarn trousers, you should reduce the height by 5 cm. For example, the table shows height 175-185, which means that when choosing tropentarn trousers, you should change this column to 170-180 cm. If your height is 171 cm, then you should choose a waist circumference among sizes with Gr.6 to Gr.11. And we DO NOT look at the posts with the length of the seam.

Parkas and Shirts

When choosing the size of the parks of the Bundeswehr, it must be borne in mind that in the German army there is a tradition of wearing short sleeves. Therefore, if you directly follow the German size chart, then many buyers will find the parkas short in the sleeves. For this reason we have changed the table. If in the German system the height was 175-185, then according to our table it will be a height of 170-180. Although... as you like...

If you are absolutely sure of your size or you like the German tradition, then do not look at this table or add 5 cm to your height. For example, our height is indicated as 160-170, which means the original should be 165-175.

ATTENTION: clothing measurements are provided, but not body measurements. Armpit width is NOT related to bust circumference. These are different quantities.

Sleeve length from the middle of the neck at the back (where the collar is sewn to the back) to the edge of the cuff.

Sleeve length from the sleeve sewing line to the edge of the cuff.

Armpit width.

The height of the back from the bottom to the seam where the collar is sewn to the back.

Width between shoulder seams.

Membrane suits of the Bundeswehr (Flektarn) are not graded according to height. The suits are designed for average height (up to 178 cm) and have only five sizes, of which size Gr.V is not available for sale (with rare exceptions).

Pants are often too short even for people of average height. Since they are designed to be worn with membrane gaiters and high-top boots/boots. The sleeves are usually short due to the German tradition of tailoring military uniforms.

If length is important, then choose a size larger than necessary.

Overalls of the Bundeswehr.

In tank overalls in gray color(except for flektarn), as well as for moleskin shirts (tunics), the dimensions are completely different. If you are used to taking parkas or Gr8 trousers, then the Gr8 overalls will not suit you.

In this table we indicate the chest circumference indicated on the original tags, but we write our own height, which we recommend, since it is customary for the Germans to wear short trousers with overalls. That is, for Gr5, for example, a height of 175-185 cm is recommended, but on a person with this height, trouser legs of this size will be very short. Therefore, we write our recommended height in the table.

For the convenience of our customers, we have translated the sizes and indicated the sizes of the American system (S-M-L-XL ...). Additionally, measure the length of the sleeve from the shoulder line to the edge of the cuff on the shirts you have. When ordering, choose according to the American size, and in the comments to the order, indicate what should be the length of the sleeve from the shoulder line. By shoulder line we mean the seam that attaches the sleeve to the shirt.

German catalogs and online stores are a paradise for shopping lovers. Moderate prices, high quality clothes and fast delivery compared to China or the USA are conducive to shopping. It is also important what to choose yours size quite simple, all things usually correspond to the seller's table.

IN In Germany, the international sizing system marked XS-XL is widespread, but quality brands still use the German sizing chart.

As easy as pie

Z Do you have your Russian size? Then identifying German is very easy. It is enough to subtract 8 from it. So, if your Russian size is 44, then the German one will be 36. This rule is true for women’s clothing - men’s sizes absolutely coincide with domestic ones for a standard figure (German 50 is the same as Russian 50- y). However, there are exceptions. The size of bras and tops of swimsuits (which are sold separately from swimming trunks in most online stores) fully corresponds to the Russian size.

Custom sizes

WITH considered standard in Germany women's sizes for height 165-172 cm. Sometimes they can be marked with the letter N. Sizes for petite women are designated with the letter K (EK), their digital designation is half the standard size. So, women with a height of 155-164, for whom the standard German size would be 36, should choose 18K. Models for those taller than 173 cm are marked with the letter L (EL) and a digital designation twice the standard size. For example, for a height of 182 cm and a German size 44, clothes in size 88L are ideal.

IN The men's size chart takes into account not only height, but also the proportions of the figure. Cloth standard sizes tailored to a figure in which the waist is narrower than the chest, and is marked, like women's, with the letter N or just numbers. Moreover, it is designed for heights from 160 to 198 cm. Models for short men up to 186 cm with a slight difference in the circumference of the hips and waist are designated by the letter U (from German Untersetzt - stocky). For tall (from 174 to 194 cm), narrow-shouldered and thin people - S. Even for figures with a “beer” belly, there is a special cut that widens at the waist. Such things are marked with the letter B(from him. B auch – belly). So, a man 178 cm tall with short legs and a chest volume of 112 cm needs to stop at size 28U.

Baby clothes

D For children under 3 years of age, clothing size is determined by one parameter - height. Graduation from 50 to 104 cm in increments of 6 cm. For older people, the size also depends on height, but when choosing shoulder products, the chest circumference is taken into account, and when choosing trousers or skirts, the waist and hips.

German manufacturers usually do not deviate from standard parameters, but before ordering you should still check the size chart.
