SIZE GUIDE – YOUTH

FINDING YOUR SIZE

During puberty, the body begins to change which is why we have chosen to use two different size tables for boys and girls. The measurements in the size charts for youths are given in centimetres. Remember that you only need to go by chest measurement for jackets and tops, and hip and waist measurements for bottoms. For unisex garments, we recommend you choose the size you normally use.

How do I measure myself?

Using a tape measure, measure directly against your body in centimetres to determine your size. In order to pick the correct size for jackets and tops, you should take your chest measurement. In order to pick the correct size for bottoms, go by your hip and waist measurements. Range of movement is already taken into account.

  • A

    Chest measurement

    Measure over the fullest part of your bust and over the shoulder blades, ideally with a bra on. Go by this measurement when selecting jackets and tops.

  • B

    Waist

    Measure your waist at the narrowest point. If you want to know what size to choose for bottoms, go by your hip measurement first of all. Waist measurement is secondary.

  • C

    Hips

    Measure around your hips at the widest point, which is roughly 20 cm below your waist.

  • D

    Inside leg length

    Inside leg length is measured from the crotch down to the floor.

What shoe size am I?

No one feels comfortable in footwear that is too big or too small. In order to make it easier for you to find your size, you need to measure based on the internal length of the sole. Measure your foot from heel to big toe to determine the correct size.

What size gloves do I need?

It can sometimes be tricky to know what size you need in order to keep your hands warm. You need to measure the length of your hand from your wrist to the tip of your middle finger (A). Measure around your hand, not including the thumb (B). The measurements are given in centimetres.

Hand circumference 16,5 17,8 19,0 20,3 22,8 25,4 28,0 30,5

What size of hat or cap do I need?

You need to measure the circumference of your head at its widest point, roughly one centimetre above your 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.
