Thread: T-shirt size in the US

Bruno, I'm about the same size. In general, a Medium is a loose/comfortable fit (not hanging off me, but not clinging to me) and a small is borderline snug. You definitely don't want a large.

Thanks guys. I think I'll go for the medium then.

I'm not sure what it would be,but, chest measurment would seem to guage it better than height and waist size.

That assumes that Bruno will be wearing it the way most people do.

Definitely go for the medium. I'm 5'11" with a 30" waist and I wear a small comfortably, and I'm also pretty slender so a medium should fit you just fine.

2XL (XXL) -- buy it to grow-into it.

Bruno, go with a medium. Compared to the T-shirts you get in Belgium the US ones are always larger. I wear medium in the US. 1.84m, 50 (40R) suit and 42 (31") waist. same with the waist sizes. In Belgium I would always buy a 32" waist. Here in the US I need to get a 30" or 31". The 32" is always to large. Rob does make a point cause some companies have a complete different sizing for their clothes. Especially when it's made in India, China,... I would still buy medium no matter what.

In Europe I used to get XL, here in us I always get L. I'm 32 waist but a bit taller than you. I'd say go for M if you want more fitted look, it should be alright for your size.
