Men's Suit Size Chart
Use measured chest to narrow the jacket number before checking length and tailoring.
| US / UK example | EU example | Chest range |
|---|---|---|
| 34 | 44 | 33.75–35.5 in / 86–90 cm |
| 36 | 46 | 35.5–37 in / 90–94 cm |
| 38 | 48 | 37–38.5 in / 94–98 cm |
| 40 | 50 | 38.5–40.25 in / 98–102 cm |
| 42 | 52 | 40.25–41.75 in / 102–106 cm |
| 44 | 54 | 41.75–43.25 in / 106–110 cm |
| 46 | 56 | 43.25–44.75 in / 110–114 cm |
Men's suit size starts with chest, not ends with it
Use chest measurement to narrow the numeric jacket size and the international equivalent.
Then check short/regular/long proportions, shoulder shape, sleeve length, waist suppression and trouser drop; those details are not captured by the base number.

These sources support the measurement method and help check real-world variation. They are not presented as one universal brand-size table.

- Men Size Guide — H&M. Cross-check for men’s EU/US clothing, chest and waist ranges, trousers, jackets, and suit-style numeric references.
- Sizing Guides — Charles Tyrwhitt. Cross-check for shirt neck, chest, sleeve and fit ranges, showing that fit blocks change garment measurements.
