Table of clothing sizes for women and men of different countries

Finland is becoming increasingly popular among Russian shopaholics. But when choosing and purchasing clothes, there is often a language barrier and difficulty determining the size. All the tags are written in Finnish, but a Russian person gets lost and doesn’t know which item to take from the hanger to try on. How to determine Finnish clothing sizes? How to figure out the size chart?

Why Finnish clothing is so popular

Manufacturers think about the fact that their clothes are considered a global brand and pay attention to quality. To sew outerwear, they use innovative technologies and materials that can be worn for more than one season. They are designed for harsh climates and are suitable for Russian frosts, unlike Chinese clothing. Well-known companies on the market necessarily test and control the quality of their items.

The fabrics are environmentally friendly, and outerwear is separately treated with a special water-repellent compound. This does not make things heavier, but increases wear resistance. Finnish things are not cheap, but they are high quality. At the same time, Finnish clothing is larger, which makes it more comfortable to wear and does not restrict movement. These are high quality items, and the fabrics used for sewing are durable.

It is important that the manufacturer thinks through every detail in the design of the model. But, despite all the positive reviews from Russians, it is necessary to pay attention to the quality of the seams, gluing and other processing of the item.

What is the difference between Finnish sizes?

Finnish manufacturers, like many clothing companies, use European sizes, which customers often see in stores. But at the same time, things often run larger than European ones, and are distinguished by a spacious cut. If clothes are ordered online, then the only way not to miss the size is to measure the volume.

The word Rinnanymparys on the clothing tag translates to chest volume. For the Vyötärönympärys indicator, you need to measure your waist at the narrowest point. By measuring the hips at the widest point, the buyer will receive Lantionympärys. For trousers, the Jalan sisäpituus indicator is important - this is the length from the groin to the floor. To select a shirt, you need neck circumference. On the tags it is designated as Kauluskoko. If all measurements are taken correctly, then you can buy the clothes you like without additional fitting. Before purchasing, you should compare your measurements with the manufacturer's sizing chart.

When sewing jeans, the manufacturer also uses international sizes, which are expressed in inches. On the tags of men's suits you can see markings based on your body type. For example, on the label of clothes for a thin build, B is written. If a person is tall and thin, then the manufacturer marks the item as B1.

For a normal build and average height, the marking C is typical. For average stature and short stature, the letters OS are applied. If a person is of heavy build or plump, but has an average height, the clothes are marked with the letters OD. If you are short and overweight, E is written on the tag.

Travalle Size Chart

Winter clothes

Travalle winter jackets and overalls come with a reserve.

• Overalls have an approximate margin of +4-6 cm to the size.
• When choosing a jumpsuit, consider the length of your child's legs. The crotch seam is dropped. These overalls are ideal for children with short to medium-sized legs relative to their torso. Long children should choose a larger size.
• The jackets have a margin of approximately +6-8 cm to the size. In fact, they run about a size too big.
• The labeling of Finnish clothing assumes that the product is worn FROM the height indicated on the label.

The ratio of Finnish sizes to Russian ones

Women's sizes start at 40, they, as in many countries, differ by 6 units. For example, to calculate your Finnish size you need to subtract six from the Russian grid. For a Russian woman size 48, you should take size 42 or L. The ratio of the sizes of countries can be seen in a special table. The same rules apply for men's clothing, but since things often run large, it is recommended to try them on.

Manufacturers can also use their own non-standard clothing size lines, so before purchasing it is better to look at what body size a T-shirt or down jacket is designed for. These items may not correspond to generally accepted sizes and, although the differences are usually not significant, there is a risk that the clothing will not fit perfectly. Like any clothing, it is recommended to try on Finnish items, especially if we are talking about expensive branded items.

Taking measurements

It is better to entrust measurements to another person. During the measurement, you need to stand up straight, no need to slouch. Another method for choosing the right size is to fit old clothes that fit perfectly. Using it you can measure the width of the back, length of the body, sleeves, side seam and other parameters. When purchasing, these measurements are simply compared with the item you like.

Baby clothes

When buying Finnish children's clothing, you only need to know the size. The sizes in Finland are the same as in Russia. But it is still preferable to know the height, because the size indicated on the tag is the minimum size with which you can wear the item. And the maximum height differs by a couple of sizes. For one-piece overalls, the “top” size is one larger.

In Russia, it is customary to purchase things for children with a small supply. Finnish children's sizes are slightly larger, so stocking up is not recommended. The manufacturer himself already puts in a reserve, for example, a size of 92 centimeters can also be worn by a child 98 cm tall. The best thing to do is to try on the item in a store.

Vocabulary for shopaholics in Finland

Not everyone is familiar with the Finnish language and, when entering a store, they are simply lost. To facilitate communication, you must be able to read ALE signs; Alennus is a sign for a price reduction or sale. New models can be seen with the labels Uusi, Uutta tavara. In Finnish stores there is a special category of goods with prices starting from five euros. Alkaen 5 signs are visible next to it. A line with the word Koko on the size tag will help you read it. You can try on the item you like behind a screen signed by Sovitus. For plus size people, look for the Isot tytöt marking on the tags.
