Matt O'Brien Fashions | Menswear | Size Guide

Getting Sizes right can be difficult. The reality is that every brand has a different way of making garments and so there is no standardised fits. A Medium in one brand could be like a Large in a different brand.

To help you with fittings we have developed this guide to give you a better idea of what to expect. If you are not sure of your size, check some of the garments you own that fit you well. This will give you an idea of what fit you need.

Trouser / Jeans Sizing

All trousers / jeans / chinos are sized with the waist first (in inches) followed by the leg length (S = short R = regular L = long)

So for example 32R is the same as 32x32 and 36S is the same as 36x30.

Please keep in mind that each brand fits differently so may not be exactly as stated.

 

Shirts

Shirts come in Extra Slim, Slim, Body, Tapered, Modern, Regular and Comfort fits.

Generally casual shirts will come Small, Medium, Large etc. while formal shirts will be sized according to Neck or Chest.

The fits available depend on the brand. Generally extra slim, slim and body are tight or neat fitting. Tapered and modern are shaped but have room while regular and comfort are loose fitting.

 

Suits

Suits generally come nested, that is, a jacket and trouser together. Some suits are Mix and Match, that is, the Jackets, trousers and waist coats are sold separately so you can get whatever size you want.

Every suit brand has a different fit and even within brands suits can come in different fits. 

Suits come in Extra Slim, Slim, Tapered, Regular and Comfort fits. The way suits are cut and the fabrics they are made from will all have an affect on the fit.
