Size and Condition Guide

Sizing and Condition Guide

Given the huge variety of clothing we stock, a standard sizing guide is extremely useful for those wanting the best fit. Nearly every military has different sizing charts and schemes, which is why we've taken the time to put together this quick guide.

British Military Clothing is measured in centimetres

Trousers are measured leg/waist/seat

Shirts, jackets, t-shirts and body armour are measured height/chest 

To convert to inches just divide the numbers by 2.54 and round it down to the nearest full number

Other Countries are measured in inches

This makes it easy to tell if the item is going to fit or not

Example is US forces

Labels will say for example Medium Regular but also have a height – chest range for tops, and a waist – inseam range for trousers, taking the headache out of sizing.
