SIZE GUIDE – KIDS
FINDING YOUR CHILD’S SIZE
Use your child’s height when choosing sizes. The measurements in the size charts are given in centimetres. The chart also shows age, which can give a pointer to which size to choose if you have not been able to measure your child.

Between sizes?
We have received feedback from customers that our kids’ clothing is slightly on the large side. We would therefore recommend opting for the smaller of the sizes you are considering. Several of our garments also feature our Extend Size function, which allows the arms and/or legs to be extended by up to five centimetre by unpicking a seam.
What shoe size is my child?
No one feels comfortable in footwear that is too big or too small. In order to make it easier for you to find your child’s shoe size, you need to measure based on the internal length of the sole. Measure their foot from heel to big toe to determine the correct size.
| Size | 20 | 21 | 22 | 23 | 24 | 25 | 26 | 27 | 28 | 29 | 30 | 31 | 32 | 33 | 34 | 35 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Internal length of sole (cm) | 13,5 | 14 | 14,7 | 15,3 | 16 | 16,5 | 17,4 | 18 | 18,7 | 19,3 | 20 | 20,8 | 21,2 | 21,8 | 22,6 | 23,3 |
What mitten size is my child?
It can sometimes be tricky to know what size your child needs in order to keep their hands warm. You need to measure the length of their hand from the wrist to the tip of their middle finger (A). Measure around their hand, not including the thumb (B). The measurements are given in centimetres.
| Age / Size * | 0–2 years | 2–4 years | 4–6 years | 6–8 years | 8–10 years |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hand length | 9 | 11 | 12 | 14 | 15 |
| Hand circumference | 11,5 | 13,0 | 14,5 | 15,5 | 16,5 |
* = Significant variations in hand circumference can occur within the same age group.
What size of hat or cap does my child need?
You need to measure the circumference of their head at its widest point, roughly one centimetre above their eyebrows and eyes. Don’t pull the tape measure too tight. If the measurement falls between two whole centimetres, round up to the larger size. No tape measure? In that case, you can measure using a length of string, and then measure it against a ruler or folding rule. The circumference of the head is measured in centimetres.
| Size (cm) | 80 | 90 | 100 | 110 | 120 | 130 | 140 | 150 | 160 | 170 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Age* | 1 | 1,5–2 | 3–4 | 4–5 | 6–7 | 7–8 | 9–10 | 11–12 | 13–14 | 15–16 |
| Circumference of head | 48/50 | 50/52 | 50/52 | 52/54 | 52/54 | 54/56 | 54/56 | 56/58 | 56/58 | 56/58 |
* = Significant variations in head circumference can occur within the same age group.
