Find Your Perfect Fit
Shopping for jeans, T-shirts, shirts, jackets or footwear? Our size guide will help you understand clothing measurements and choose the right fit with confidence.
We stock multiple fashion brands, including Levi's®, Wrangler®, Lee®, Superdry and more. Sizing may vary by brand, garment style and fit, so please use the following information as a guide and refer to the manufacturer's size chart when available.
1. Men's Jeans & Trousers
Most men's jeans use two measurements: Waist (W) and Leg Length (L), expressed in inches.
For example, W32 / L32 indicates a labelled 32-inch waist and a 32-inch inside leg.

This chart is based on Levi's UK men's tops sizing. It is a reference for Levi's standard tops, not a universal chart for Wrangler, Lee, Superdry, Schott, Swade or House of Cavani.
How to Measure Your Chest
-
Stand naturally with your arms relaxed.
-
Wrap a measuring tape around the fullest part of your chest.
-
Keep the tape horizontal and comfortably snug.
-
Compare your measurement with the appropriate brand chart.
Fit tip: For a more relaxed look or when layering over another garment, consider the next size up after checking the intended product fit.
3. Women's Jeans & Clothing
Women's clothing can use UK dress sizes, waist measurements in inches, or letter sizes such as XS–XL.

These are Levi's UK women's jeans reference measurements. They should not be treated as a universal conversion to UK dress sizes.
How to Measure
-
Waist: Measure around your natural waistline.
-
Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips.
-
Inside Leg: Measure from the crotch to the desired hem position.
-
Chest/Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your bust when selecting tops.
Fit tip: Consider the product's rise, stretch and leg shape. Two pairs of jeans with the same labelled waist may feel different.
4. Jackets, Coats & Outerwear
For jackets and coats, check the chest measurement, shoulder fit and intended layering.
-
Regular Fit: Designed for everyday wear with comfortable movement.
-
Slim Fit: A closer, more tailored silhouette.
-
Relaxed Fit: Additional room for comfort and layering.
-
Oversized Fit: Intentionally larger proportions.
For denim jackets, Sherpa jackets, parkas and winter coats, check the manufacturer's chart and the garment's intended fit.
If you plan to wear thick layers underneath, allow enough room through the chest and shoulders.
5. Suits, Blazers & Formalwear
Tailored clothing requires more precise measurements than casualwear.
For suits and blazers, consider:
-
Chest: Around the fullest part of the chest.
-
Shoulders: Across the shoulder line.
-
Sleeve Length: From the shoulder to the wrist.
-
Waist: Around the natural waist.
-
Inside Leg: From the crotch to the desired trouser hem.
UK suit jacket sizes are often expressed using chest measurements, while trouser sizes may use waist and inside-leg measurements.
Important: Tailored fits vary by manufacturer. For House of Cavani and other formalwear, always consult the brand's official sizing information before ordering.
6. Footwear
Footwear sizes vary depending on the brand, shoe shape and design.
For the most accurate fit:
-
Stand on a sheet of paper with your heel against a wall.
-
Mark the tip of your longest toe.
-
Measure from the wall to the mark in centimetres.
-
Repeat for both feet and use the longer measurement.
-
Compare the result with the specific footwear brand's size chart.
For trainers, boots and sliders, use the brand's UK size guide rather than relying on a generic UK/EU conversion.
7. Official Brand Size Guides
