Rep sizing guide
Do reps run small? Often, yes: many Weidian and Taobao sellers use Asian sizing, which tends to run about one size smaller than EU/US sizing, but not always. The only reliable method is to compare the seller's size chart in centimetres with a garment you own that fits.
How to measure (5 minutes)
- Take a piece you own that fits the way you like (same type: hoodie for a hoodie, jeans for jeans).
- Lay it flat. Measure chest (pit to pit, then double it if the chart shows full chest), length (top of shoulder to hem) and sleeve. For pants: waist, inseam, thigh and leg opening.
- Compare with the seller's size chart in centimetres (agents translate it). Pick the size closest to your measurements, not the letter.
Want a quick starting point first? The size estimator turns your height, weight and fit into a size to look for, and compares a seller's chart with a garment you own.
Rules of thumb
- Streetwear brands like Essentials and Corteiz are cut oversized and boxy, so measurements matter more than the label.
- For sneakers, use EU size and your foot length in cm; check whether the model runs large or small at retail.
- Between sizes? For tops size up; for fitted items (polos, knits, jeans) compare waist and chest carefully.
- Ask the warehouse to measure in the QC photos if the chart is unclear.
- Brand notes from our brand pages: Balenciaga sneakers often run large, Amiri denim is slim, and Golden Goose is usually true to size in EU.
