Fit & Sizing
Size Guide
FHENY carries many houses, and each one cuts to its own block. Use these charts as your starting point, then check the product page for the piece you have chosen.
Women's Clothing
Dresses, tops, knitwear, outerwear & suiting| Size | US | UK | EU / FR | IT | Bust | Waist | Hip |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| XXS | 0 | 4 | 32 | 36 | 31.5 in / 80 cm | 24 in / 61 cm | 34 in / 86 cm |
| XS | 2 | 6 | 34 | 38 | 32.5 in / 83 cm | 25 in / 63 cm | 35 in / 89 cm |
| S | 4 | 8 | 36 | 40 | 33.5 in / 85 cm | 26 in / 66 cm | 36 in / 92 cm |
| S | 6 | 10 | 38 | 42 | 34.5 in / 88 cm | 27 in / 69 cm | 37.5 in / 95 cm |
| M | 8 | 12 | 40 | 44 | 36 in / 91 cm | 28.5 in / 73 cm | 39 in / 99 cm |
| M | 10 | 14 | 42 | 46 | 37.5 in / 95 cm | 30 in / 76 cm | 40.5 in / 103 cm |
| L | 12 | 16 | 44 | 48 | 39 in / 99 cm | 31.5 in / 80 cm | 42 in / 107 cm |
| L | 14 | 18 | 46 | 50 | 41 in / 104 cm | 33.5 in / 85 cm | 44 in / 112 cm |
| XL | 16 | 20 | 48 | 52 | 43 in / 109 cm | 35.5 in / 90 cm | 46 in / 117 cm |
Italian labels usually run about two numbers above the French and standard EU scale, so an IT 44 fits close to an EU 40 and a US 8. FHENY carries many houses and each cuts differently — where a designer publishes its own measurements, those are shown on the product page and should be followed first.
Women's Trousers
Denim numbering with body measurements| Size | US | Waist | Hip | Inseam (Regular) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 24 | 00 | 25 in / 63 cm | 35 in / 89 cm | 30 in / 76 cm |
| 25 | 0 | 26 in / 66 cm | 36 in / 91 cm | 30 in / 76 cm |
| 26 | 2 | 27 in / 69 cm | 37 in / 94 cm | 30 in / 76 cm |
| 27 | 4 | 28 in / 71 cm | 38 in / 97 cm | 30 in / 76 cm |
| 28 | 6 | 29 in / 74 cm | 39 in / 99 cm | 31 in / 79 cm |
| 29 | 8 | 30 in / 76 cm | 40 in / 102 cm | 31 in / 79 cm |
| 30 | 10 | 31 in / 79 cm | 41 in / 104 cm | 31 in / 79 cm |
| 31 | 12 | 32 in / 81 cm | 42 in / 107 cm | 32 in / 81 cm |
| 32 | 14 | 33 in / 84 cm | 43 in / 109 cm | 32 in / 81 cm |
Denim waist numbers refer to the finished garment, not your body. Rigid, non-stretch denim is usually best taken true to your waist measurement; stretch denim can be taken one size down.
Women's Shoes
Measured heel to longest toe| US | UK | EU | Foot Length |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | 3 | 35 – 36 | 8.7 in / 22.0 cm |
| 5.5 | 3.5 | 36 | 8.9 in / 22.5 cm |
| 6 | 4 | 36 – 37 | 9.0 in / 22.9 cm |
| 6.5 | 4.5 | 37 | 9.2 in / 23.3 cm |
| 7 | 5 | 37 – 38 | 9.3 in / 23.7 cm |
| 7.5 | 5.5 | 38 | 9.5 in / 24.1 cm |
| 8 | 6 | 38 – 39 | 9.7 in / 24.6 cm |
| 8.5 | 6.5 | 39 | 9.8 in / 25.0 cm |
| 9 | 7 | 39 – 40 | 10.0 in / 25.4 cm |
| 9.5 | 7.5 | 40 | 10.2 in / 25.9 cm |
| 10 | 8 | 40 – 41 | 10.3 in / 26.2 cm |
| 11 | 9 | 41 – 42 | 10.7 in / 27.1 cm |
There is no single international standard for footwear, so conversions vary by a half size between houses. Italian and French labels tend to run narrow; if you are between sizes or have a wider foot, take the larger size.
Men's Clothing
Knitwear, outerwear & tailoring| Size | US / UK | EU / IT | Chest | Waist |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 34 | 44 | 34 – 36 in / 86 – 91 cm | 28 – 30 in / 71 – 76 cm |
| S | 36 | 46 | 36 – 38 in / 91 – 97 cm | 30 – 32 in / 76 – 81 cm |
| M | 38 – 40 | 48 – 50 | 38 – 40 in / 97 – 102 cm | 32 – 34 in / 81 – 86 cm |
| L | 42 | 52 | 42 – 44 in / 107 – 112 cm | 34 – 36 in / 86 – 91 cm |
| XL | 44 – 46 | 54 | 46 – 48 in / 117 – 122 cm | 38 – 40 in / 97 – 102 cm |
| XXL | 48 | 56 – 58 | 48 – 50 in / 122 – 127 cm | 42 – 44 in / 107 – 112 cm |
European tailoring is numbered roughly ten above the US chest measurement, so a US 42 chest corresponds to an EU 52. Italian houses cut closer through the body than British ones — for a relaxed shoulder, take one size up.
Men's Shirts
Sized on the collar| Size | Neck | EU Collar | Chest | Sleeve |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 13.5 – 14 in / 34 – 36 cm | 36 | 34 – 36 in / 86 – 91 cm | 32 in / 81 cm |
| S | 14 – 14.5 in / 36 – 37 cm | 37 – 38 | 36 – 38 in / 91 – 97 cm | 33 in / 84 cm |
| M | 15 – 15.5 in / 38 – 39 cm | 39 – 40 | 38 – 40 in / 97 – 102 cm | 34 in / 86 cm |
| L | 16 – 16.5 in / 41 – 42 cm | 41 – 42 | 42 – 44 in / 107 – 112 cm | 35 in / 89 cm |
| XL | 17 – 17.5 in / 43 – 44 cm | 43 – 44 | 46 – 48 in / 117 – 122 cm | 36 in / 91 cm |
| XXL | 18 – 18.5 in / 46 – 47 cm | 45 – 46 | 48 – 50 in / 122 – 127 cm | 37 in / 94 cm |
European collar sizes are the neck measurement in centimetres, so 15 in converts to a 38. Leave room for one finger between the tape and your neck when measuring.
Men's Trousers
European numbering with US waist| EU | US Waist | Waist | Hip | Inseam (Regular) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 44 | 28 | 28 in / 71 cm | 35 in / 89 cm | 32 in / 81 cm |
| 46 | 30 | 30 in / 76 cm | 37 in / 94 cm | 32 in / 81 cm |
| 48 | 32 | 32 in / 81 cm | 39 in / 99 cm | 32 in / 81 cm |
| 50 | 34 | 34 in / 86 cm | 41 in / 104 cm | 32 in / 81 cm |
| 52 | 36 | 36 in / 91 cm | 43 in / 109 cm | 33 in / 84 cm |
| 54 | 38 | 38 in / 97 cm | 45 in / 114 cm | 33 in / 84 cm |
| 56 | 40 | 40 in / 102 cm | 47 in / 119 cm | 33 in / 84 cm |
European trouser sizes are close to half the chest measurement in centimetres. Complimentary alterations are included on all full price tailoring — ask a stylist before you order.

| 12 | 11.5 | 46 | 11.5 in / 29.2 cm |
| 13 | 12.5 | 47 | 11.8 in / 30.0 cm |
UK sizes run about half a size below US for men. Goodyear welted and leather soled shoes ease with wear — they should feel snug, not tight, when new.

| 13Y | 13 | 158 | 58 – 60 in / 152 – 158 cm | 31 in / 79 cm |
| 14Y | 14 | 164 | 60 – 62 in / 158 – 164 cm | 32 in / 81 cm |
| 16Y | 16 | 176 | 62 – 65 in / 164 – 176 cm | 34 in / 86 cm |
European children's sizes are the child's height in centimetres and mark the maximum the garment fits, not the middle of the range. A child measuring 137 cm has only a little room in a 140 — take the next size up for a season of growing room.
