Carhartt Sizing Guide
Choosing the right clothing size is essential not only for comfort but also for functionality, especially in work clothes. Known for its durable and reliable clothing , Carhartt offers a wide range of sizes. In this blog, we'll walk you through a comprehensive guide to sizing and fitting Carhartt clothing to help you find the best clothing for your body type and work requirements.
Understanding Carhartt Measurements
The first step in choosing the perfect Carhartt garment is to measure yourself accurately. Here's how you can do it for men's and women's clothing.
Men's measurements:
-
Chest: Measure just under the armpit and across the shoulder blades, holding the tape firmly and horizontally.
-
Waist: Measure around the waist, keeping the band comfortably loose.
-
Waist: Measure the pants that fit you well from the crotch to the bottom of the leg.
Women's measurements:
-
Chest: Measure the widest part of the chest, keeping the tape level with the floor.
-
Natural Waist: Lean from side to side and find the natural bend of your body - this is your natural waist.
-
Hips: Measure the widest part of the hips, about 8 cm below the natural waist.
-
Inside waist: Measure from crotch to desired pant length.
If you are between sizes
If your measurements are between sizes, Carhartt recommends ordering the next size up for comfort and mobility. This is especially important for work clothes that must ensure freedom of movement.
Understanding the Carhartt Fitting Guide
Carhartt offers three main menswear cuts:
- Original Fit: The fit is very loose with maximum room for movement.
- Relaxed Fit: Fit to the body is highly communicated.
- Slim Fit: Fits the body snugly.
Women's clothing includes the following cuts:
- Relaxed Fit: This is the most comfortable on the body and has a subtle shape.
- Slightly Fitted: provides some lightness to the body, flows over curves and gives shape without being tight.
- Fitted: fits the body and follows the body's curves with the least amount of ease.
Very important Carhartt numbers are larger than usual
All Carhartt tops, men's and women's, are US sizes, meaning sizes run larger than normal. Therefore, we suggest that you take one size smaller than usual (eg if you wear shirts in size M, take S).
