      It might be a bit of a long shot, but is anyone familiar with Christophe Lemaire sizing? I just want to know what it translates to. I'm a size 48, and according to the Corner (US) that's a size 2, but on the Corner (France) it's a size 4. My guess is that it would be a size 3 since that would mean 44/XS was size 1 but that's only speculation.

        I think 89 cm stand for waist 35 inch and not sure that whether you can ask for a size 4. Coz I'm normally 31, 32 inch but I need size 3 in most of Julius pants.

          To make this seasons BBS sizing even more confusing I was at Gallery Aesthete recently and I tried on the J4. I'm pretty much a 48 and medium fit well which I would say is true to size, the Bamba 2s on the other hand fit 3 sizes too small. I am. 42-42.5 7/8 I'm CCP and had to size up to a 45. They said there was a production error from BBS which makes me wonder if sizes this season are varrying from batch to batch or if their particular order was messed up. So if you're having to order online cross your fingers...

              What should a regular small / 46 go for?

              I've been receiving conflicting sizing suggestions and confused on what size I should buy...I've been hearing BBS is made slimmer so I should size up, but I've also heard that I should go TTS.

              How would an M fit on me? UGhghh please help.

              For Reference, I'm 174cm tall / 68 kgs btw.
              We are very similar in size and I own this jacket in a S. I'm 170cm / 66kgs and the fit is pretty much spot on other than the sleeves being a touch long.

              I'm guessing a S would be ideal for you if you want a slim fit, but BBS sizing can vary from piece to piece and often there is a very small difference from one size to the next. I would keep this info in mind, but rely on actual measurements if possible.

                The leather jacket sizing has to do with the leather used. The J4 in gallery aesthete is black, which is cow leather, and thus is TTS.

                Any of the Ice colored jackets for fw12 are cordovan and fit about a size small.

                  Thanks to everyone for the BBS sizing advice, appreciate it.

                  Seems like a size M is only available at the moment....pit measures around 48-49cm (from the 3 stores that gave me measurements).

                  Want this so much. Worried I might buy and cry :(

                    Guys, i need help converting myself to Italian sizing.

                    My measurements:

                    High: 185cm
                    Chest: 102cm
                    Shoulders: 52-53cm
                    Waist: 96cm

                    What size do I need for Tops and Trousers?
                    I normally wear size L and 34/34 for jeans (wear them a bit loose)


                    Much appreciated.

                      Probably a 50, but it would all depend on the brand/cut, etc.

                      Do you have any clothes with suit sizing?

                        No, nothing like that. All my clothes have size L on them

                        Do you think Size 52 would be too big for me? (I tried looking through online charts and most of them list L as size 52)

                          Would probably depend on the cut/brand...even knowing your exact size is a gamble when it comes to many brands.

                          Best thing to do would be to contact the shop/seller, or alternatively find a shop that sells the same item and posts measurements (ln-cc.com, etc.)

                            Okay, but generally my measurements fall under a true Size 50 ?
                            Or bigger/smaller?

                            Thanks for the help.

                              Generally, yes, you take your chest measurement in inches, and that's your american suit size, add 10 and that's your euro suit size.

                              I know I'm giving lots of disclaimers, but as I said, sizing is so all over the place that this number is almost irrelevant, so take with a grain of salt.

                                based on those measurements, I think you could be a 52 in slim fitting stuff.
