How to use it

  1. Enter jacket size and size system.
  2. The result appears straight away and updates as you edit.
  3. Copy the result, or copy a link that keeps the same values to share it.

How it is calculated

An EU size becomes US by subtracting 10. Then S = 34 to 36, M = 38 to 40, L = 42 to 44, XL = 46 to 48, XXL = 50 to 52, 3XL = 54 to 56. A number between two ranges takes the larger letter.

Example

Inputs: Jacket size = 52, Size system = EU or Italian. Result: Letter size: L; US and UK size: 42; EU and Italian size: 52.

Limits and caveats

  • Casual jackets sold in letters are often cut roomier than suits, so a smaller letter may fit.
  • The chart is a common US one and varies by brand.

Questions about this tool

My suit is a 42, what letter is that?

A US 42 is in the L range (42 to 44) on the common chart.

And an EU 50?

EU 50 is US 40, which is M.

What if my number is between two letters?

The tool gives the larger letter, the usual advice for jackets worn over layers.
