Men Size Chart

Since a good fit is absolutely vital to your look and outward appearance, we suggest you use the charts below as a guideline when shopping in the UK. They might be different sometimes from retailer to retailer, from designer to designer and from country to country. It is advisable to take actual body measurements, rather than measuring over clothes or taking sizes from existing clothes.
