Male and Female Clothing Size Conversion Charts
In today’s world there a number of different ways to measure and record sizes.
For example:
- China’s clothing sizes can be quite confusing because the country uses a bunch of different systems depending on the product.
- They also depend on whether the product is for local use or to be exported.
- Chinese size small is usually smaller than the US/Canada counterpart.
- If the product is produced in China, add 2-3 sizes for US/Canada equivalent.
Vancouver Island Camping’s vendors are mainly from overseas. Therefore, we’ve created some male and female clothing size conversion charts to help you determine the right size for your purchase.
