Finding the right fit starts with accurate body measurements. Use this guide as a general reference when selecting Soranx menswear, including tops, knitwear, jackets, tailoring, trousers, jeans, shorts, hoodies and casual layers.
Because fit can vary depending on the cut, construction, fabric and intended silhouette of each style, we recommend reviewing the Fit & Sizing information on the individual product page before choosing your size.
Important: The measurements below are general body measurement references, not finished-garment dimensions.
How to Measure
For the most accurate result, measure over lightweight clothing or underwear using a flexible measuring tape. Keep the tape comfortably close to the body without pulling it tight.
Chest
Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape level beneath your arms and across your shoulder blades.
Natural Waist
Measure around the narrowest part of your torso, usually just above the navel. Keep the tape relaxed and avoid holding your breath.
Seat / Hip
Stand naturally with your feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat.
Shoulder
Measure straight across the back from one shoulder point to the other.
Sleeve Length
Measure from the shoulder point down along your arm to the wrist. Keep your arm naturally relaxed.
Trouser Waist
Measure around the position where you normally wear your trousers. This may sit slightly lower than your natural waist.
Inseam
Measure from the crotch seam down the inside of the leg to your preferred trouser length.
Tops, Knitwear, Jackets & Tailoring
Use your chest measurement as the primary reference for shirts, polos, knitwear, hoodies, jackets, blazers and tailoring.
If your chest and waist measurements fall into different sizes, consider the intended fit of the product and prioritize the measurement most relevant to the garment.
| Size | Chest | Waist | Sleeve |
|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 84–88 cm / 33–35 in | 72–76 cm / 28–30 in | 61–62 cm / 24–24.5 in |
| S | 88–94 cm / 35–37 in | 76–82 cm / 30–32 in | 62–63 cm / 24.5–25 in |
| M | 94–100 cm / 37–39.5 in | 82–88 cm / 32–35 in | 63–64 cm / 25–25.5 in |
| L | 100–106 cm / 39.5–42 in | 88–94 cm / 35–37 in | 64–65 cm / 25.5–26 in |
| XL | 106–112 cm / 42–44 in | 94–100 cm / 37–39.5 in | 65–66 cm / 26–26.5 in |
| 2XL | 112–118 cm / 44–46.5 in | 100–106 cm / 39.5–42 in | 66–67 cm / 26.5–27 in |
| 3XL | 118–124 cm / 46.5–49 in | 106–112 cm / 42–44 in | 67–68 cm / 27–27.5 in |
| 4XL | 124–130 cm / 49–51 in | 112–118 cm / 44–46.5 in | 68–69 cm / 27.5–28 in |
Tops & Polos
A well-fitting polo or casual top should sit cleanly across the shoulders without excessive pulling across the chest.
For a closer silhouette, choose your usual size based on your chest measurement. If you prefer a more relaxed appearance, or if the style is designed for layering, consider the next size up.
Knitwear
Knitwear may naturally follow the shape of the body more closely than woven garments.
Fine-gauge and lightweight knits can appear more fitted, while heavier sweaters and textured knitwear may have additional structure or volume.
Avoid choosing a smaller size solely to achieve a tighter fit, as this can distort the intended shape of the garment.
Hoodies & Sweatshirts
Hoodies and sweatshirts are generally designed with more ease through the chest, shoulders and sleeves.
If the product is described as Relaxed Fit or Oversized Fit, the additional room is intentional and you may not need to size up.
Trousers, Jeans & Shorts
For bottoms, use your waist and seat / hip measurements as your primary reference.
| Size | Waist | Seat / Hip |
|---|---|---|
| XS | 72–76 cm / 28–30 in | 88–92 cm / 35–36 in |
| S | 76–82 cm / 30–32 in | 92–98 cm / 36–39 in |
| M | 82–88 cm / 32–35 in | 98–104 cm / 39–41 in |
| L | 88–94 cm / 35–37 in | 104–110 cm / 41–43.5 in |
| XL | 94–100 cm / 37–39.5 in | 110–116 cm / 43.5–45.5 in |
| 2XL | 100–106 cm / 39.5–42 in | 116–122 cm / 45.5–48 in |
| 3XL | 106–112 cm / 42–44 in | 122–128 cm / 48–50.5 in |
| 4XL | 112–118 cm / 44–46.5 in | 128–134 cm / 50.5–53 in |
Tailored Trousers & Chinos
Tailored trousers should sit comfortably at the waist without requiring the waistband to stretch or pull.
The front should fall cleanly without excessive tension around the seat or upper thigh.
If you are between sizes, choose the larger size when comfort through the waist and seat is the priority.
Jeans
Jeans can vary significantly depending on the intended silhouette.
A Straight Fit maintains a relatively consistent line from the thigh toward the hem, while a Relaxed Fit provides additional room through the seat and thigh.
Where stretch is present, the garment may feel slightly closer when first worn.
Cargo & Utility Pants
Cargo and utility styles are generally designed with more functional ease through the thigh and leg.
If the product is described as relaxed or loose fitting, additional volume is intentional and should not automatically be treated as a reason to size down.
Shorts
Use your waist and seat measurements as the primary reference.
Cargo, casual and performance shorts may provide additional room through the leg depending on their intended use and styling.
Understanding Soranx Fits
Different products are designed with different silhouettes. Understanding the intended fit will help you choose the size that best matches how you want the garment to look and feel.
Slim Fit
Cut closer through the chest, waist, sleeves or leg for a sharper, more defined silhouette.
Slim-fit garments should follow the body without restricting normal movement.
If you are between sizes or prefer additional room, consider sizing up.
Tailored Fit
Structured and refined with moderate shaping through the body.
A tailored fit is designed to create a clean silhouette while allowing more comfort than a traditional slim fit.
This fit is commonly used for blazers, suits and smart trousers.
Regular Fit
Designed with balanced room through the body for straightforward everyday wear.
Regular-fit pieces provide a clean appearance without feeling particularly close or intentionally oversized.
Relaxed Fit
Cut with additional ease through the chest, body, thigh or leg.
Relaxed silhouettes are intended to feel less structured and should not automatically be sized down.
Oversized Fit
Intentionally designed with increased volume, wider proportions or dropped shoulders.
Choose your usual size if you want the garment to look as intended.
Size down only if you specifically prefer a less oversized appearance.
Straight Fit
Most commonly used for trousers and jeans.
A straight fit maintains a relatively consistent shape from the thigh toward the hem, creating a clean and versatile silhouette.
Jackets & Outerwear Fit Guide
When choosing outerwear, think about what you plan to wear underneath.
If you intend to layer a jacket over knitwear, hoodies or heavier tops, additional room through the chest and shoulders may be preferable.
Lightweight Jackets
Bombers, overshirts and casual jackets are generally designed for light layering.
Your normal size should work for most outfits worn over a T-shirt, polo or lightweight knit.
Fleece & Softshell Jackets
Performance and casual outerwear may have additional ease to support movement and layering.
Check the individual product description for any specific slim, regular or relaxed fit guidance.
Rain & Shell Jackets
Outer layers intended for changing weather conditions may be designed with additional room for layering.
If you expect to wear the jacket over thicker clothing, choosing the larger size when between sizes is usually more practical.
Puffer & Insulated Jackets
Insulated pieces naturally have more volume because of their construction.
Do not judge the required size based only on the visual thickness of the garment. Use your chest measurement and the product-specific fit information.
Tailoring Fit Guide
Tailoring should feel structured without restricting movement.
For suits and blazers, the shoulder fit is the most important starting point.
Jacket Shoulders
The shoulder seam should sit close to the natural edge of your shoulder.
The fabric should lie cleanly without noticeable pulling, collapsing or extending significantly beyond the shoulder.
Jacket Chest
When fastened, the jacket should close comfortably without strong horizontal pulling across the chest or lapels.
Some shaping through the waist is normal for slim and tailored silhouettes.
Jacket Length
Jacket length varies according to style and proportion.
Traditional tailoring generally provides greater coverage, while contemporary and casual blazers may be intentionally shorter.
Sleeves
The sleeve should reach close to the wrist bone.
When worn with a dress shirt, a small amount of shirt cuff may remain visible.
Suit Trousers
Suit trousers should sit comfortably at the waist and fall cleanly through the seat and thigh.
The trouser leg should follow the intended silhouette without excessive pulling or bunching.
Two-Piece & Three-Piece Suits
A two-piece suit generally includes a matching jacket and trousers.
A three-piece suit generally includes a matching jacket, trousers and waistcoat.
Always review the individual product description to confirm exactly what is included with the product.
When choosing a suit size, prioritize the fit of the jacket through the shoulders and chest, then review the available trouser measurements or size options.
Occasion & Tuxedo Fit
Tuxedos and occasion tailoring are generally intended to create a more structured and refined silhouette.
The jacket should sit cleanly across the shoulders, the lapels should lie flat, and the front should fasten without visible strain.
For formal events, avoid choosing an excessively tight fit simply to create a sharper appearance. Proper drape and unrestricted movement generally result in a more polished look.
Linen & Summer Tailoring
Linen and lightweight tailoring are designed to feel more relaxed than heavier traditional suiting.
Natural creasing is part of the character of linen and should not be considered a sizing issue.
A slightly easier fit can complement the relaxed structure of lightweight summer tailoring.
Layering Guide
Consider your intended outfit when choosing between sizes.
Light Layering
For wearing over:
- T-shirts
- Lightweight polos
- Fine knitwear
- Casual shirts
Your usual size will normally provide the intended fit.
Medium Layering
For wearing over:
- Sweatshirts
- Medium-weight knitwear
- Hoodies
- Multiple lightweight layers
If you are between sizes, choosing the larger size may provide better comfort.
Tailoring Layers
When wearing a blazer over a shirt or lightweight knit, the jacket should remain comfortable through the shoulders and upper arms.
Avoid selecting a jacket that only fits comfortably when worn over a T-shirt if you expect to regularly wear it with additional layers.
Choosing Between Two Sizes
If your measurements fall between two sizes, consider how the product is designed and how you prefer your clothing to fit.
Choose the smaller size when:
- You prefer a closer silhouette.
- The garment is intentionally relaxed or oversized.
- The product includes stretch and you prefer a more fitted appearance.
Choose the larger size when:
- You prefer additional comfort and movement.
- You plan to layer clothing underneath.
- The product is slim fitting or structured.
- Your chest, waist or seat measurement is closer to the larger size.
For outerwear and structured tailoring, additional room is usually preferable to excessive tightness.
Product-Specific Sizing
The size guides on this page are intended as a general Soranx reference.
Some products may use different size ranges, proportions or fits because of their individual design.
A product page may therefore show:
- Different available sizes
- Specific fit recommendations
- A limited size range
- Numeric sizing
- Product-specific measurements
- Additional information about the intended silhouette
When product-specific sizing information is available, it should take priority over this general guide.
Body Measurements vs. Garment Measurements
The measurements shown in the general tables above refer to the body measurements the garment is designed to accommodate.
They are not the measurements of the finished garment itself.
A garment will normally measure larger than the corresponding body measurement because additional room is required for comfort, movement, layering and the intended silhouette.
For example, a relaxed jacket will have more garment ease than a slim-fit polo even if both are labeled the same size.
A Note on Fit & Variation
Fit can vary between products because of differences in:
- Fabric structure
- Stretch
- Garment construction
- Intended silhouette
- Layering requirements
- Tailoring
- Washing or finishing methods
Color variations of the same product are generally designed to follow the same fit, but minor differences may occur between production runs.
We recommend using this guide together with the information shown on each individual product page.
