Are sizes the same for all workwear brands?

Short answer: No, sizes can be quite different from one brand to another. A size 'L' from one manufacturer might fit differently than an 'L' from another, so it's always best to check before you buy.

Why workwear sizes vary

Each brand, like Fristads, Dimex, or Portwest, uses its own patterns and specifications. This means their idea of a "medium" or "large" can vary based on the country, the style of the garment, and the intended fit (e.g., snug vs. loose).

Quick tip: Think of it like your regular clothes—you might be a different size in different stores. The same goes for workwear.

How to find the right fit

The best way to get the size right is to ignore the letter (S, M, L, XL) and focus on measurements.

Find the size chart: Look for a size guide or size chart link on the product page. This is the most reliable source of information.
Measure yourself: Grab a tape measure and check your key measurements (e.g., chest, waist, inseam).
Compare to the chart: Match your measurements to the brand's specific chart to find your recommended size.

Heads up: Getting the size right is extra important for custom items with a company logo, as these usually can't be returned if they don't fit.
