Where this chart comes from

Girths are the EN 13402-3 ladder in 4 cm steps (a ±2 cm band around the nominal value). The size number is the German convention, size = bust girth ÷ 2 − 6; the standard itself prints the girth in centimetres, not the number. The run is German: French is roughly +2 and Italian roughly +6 on the same body. CAVEAT: European retail cuts half a step larger. A check against 25–47 brand tables per label (EVID-082) found a systematic +2 cm — the median brand band for a 36 runs 84–88 cm where ours runs 82–86. The measurement cannot say which is “right”; but with a girth in the upper half of a band, a shop will name a size one step below ours.

Where this chart comes from

Chest and waist girths are the EN 13402-3 ladder (a ±2 cm band). The size number is the German convention, size = chest girth ÷ 2. EN 13402 does not define hip girth for menswear, so there is no such column here.

Where this chart comes from

The International row from the DE/AT/NL/SE/DK table, taken together with its own girth columns. Each letter in the source covers two numeric sizes (XS is 32 and 34, S is 36 and 38, and so on), so a letter's range is the union of two published rows rather than a recalculation. XXS is absent from the detailed girth table, so it is absent here too.

The International row from the AT/DE/NL/DK/SE/FI table with its chest, waist and hip columns. Up to XXL a letter maps to one numeric size; from 3XL it maps to two, exactly as printed in the source. The source's hip column stops at 4XL: the larger sizes have none, and neither do these.

Where this chart comes from

JIS L 4005: the size number is the bust girth, and the band around it reaches halfway to the neighbouring size. Hips are the A-R combination, standard fullness at standard height: fullness A adds 4 cm to the hips and length R adds 2 more. The arithmetic comes from the standard itself, which works through 13-B-T as 89 + 12 + 4. JIS publishes no waist girth in this run, and neither does this table. The men's run (JIS L 4004) is not in any available source — it is missing, not invented.

KR · Women’s

Where this chart comes from

KS 051:2009: the size number is the bust girth in centimetres; the band around each of the eight lower sizes (3XS–XXL) reaches halfway to its neighbour, a 5 cm step. The two largest sizes, 3XL and 4XL, are published by the standard as a ready-made band (110–115 and 120–125 cm) rather than a centre, and are transcribed that way. This ladder publishes no waist or hip girth, and neither does this table. CAVEAT: Korean retail also carries an older numbering, 44/55/66/77/88, alongside this one. It was the official standard from 1981 to 1999, then KATS withdrew its status and the habit stayed. It is a SEPARATE ladder, and it is here beside this one (`kr-womens-retail`): its own anchor — a height of 155 cm and a bust of 85 cm at “55” — and its own step, 3 cm of bust against five here. The two ladders’ rungs almost never coincide, so “55” is not a second name for size M but a row of a different table. A reader who sees “55” on a label belongs there, not here.

KS K 0050 (2009): the size number equals chest girth in centimetres directly — size 100 means a 100 cm chest, in 5 cm steps. The numbers come not from a dedicated Korean table (the article has none) but from the "Korea" row of the general international men's suit table, aligned on the same girth with the European and Japanese runs; independently corroborated by the EVID-115 screening. This row publishes no waist girth, and neither does this table.

The continental children’s height ladder (Konfektionsgröße): the label is the body height in centimetres, and it marks the TOP of the step. The ranges are printed in the sources as they stand.

The bands are the Russian standard 31396-2009 indifference interval (±2 cm around the nominal value). The size number and the waist and hip columns are the retail convention, size = bust girth ÷ 2, confirmed by two independent charts. The Russian standard's six fullness groups collapse to one in retail: hips = bust + 8 cm.

Where this chart comes from

Chest girths are Russian standard 31399-2009 with its indifference interval (±2 cm). The waist is collapsed to a single fullness group (chest − 12 cm) after a retail chart; the standard itself gives five groups, with chest-to-waist differences of 22/16/10/4/−2 cm. Russian standard 31399-2009 has no hip girth at all — that column comes from a retail chart.

US · Women’s

Where this chart comes from

There is no standard: the government one was abolished in 1983, and the current ASTM D5585-21 is voluntary and paywalled — retailers are under no obligation to follow it. The rows are the average of two published retailer charts, and the bands are the midpoints between neighbouring values. The run stops at 16: above it both sources move to a separate plus chart that does not continue this one. Letter labels are not given — the sources disagree about which letter fits the same body.

UK · Women’s

Where this chart comes from

There is no standard: BS 3666:1982 exists but nobody uses it. The rows are the median across five published retailer charts, and the bands are the midpoints between neighbouring medians. On one nominal size the spread between shops reaches 9–10 cm at the bust (UK 18: from 104 to 113 cm), so this is a market average, not a measurement. Converting to the European number (UK + 28) holds across six independent charts without a single exception — but the bodies behind those numbers diverge: towards the top of the run the British chart runs about 5–6 cm larger at the bust than the European one.

Where this chart comes from

A retail numbering, 44/55/66/77/88, not a standard in force: it was official from 1981 to 1999, then KATS withdrew its status, and today it survives as the habit of shops and shoppers. The numbers are not relabelled from anyone else’s ladder — both newspapers print the convention’s OWN rule: the anchor “55” is a height of 155 cm and a bust of 85 cm (the name is the last digit of each), then steps of ±5 cm height and ±3 cm bust. The band around each published value reaches halfway to its neighbour. Neither source prints a 99 rung, and it is absent here: building it from the rule would pass off as published something nobody published. This ladder names no waist or hip girth, and neither does this table.
