The Complete Rep Sizing Guide: Shoes, Clothing, and Accessories

Why Rep Sizing Is Different

Chinese manufacturing operates on Asian sizing standards, which run smaller than US, EU, and UK standards. A Chinese Large is often equivalent to a US Medium. Beyond general downsizing, rep factories sometimes use their own molds and patterns, which may not match any standard size chart. This creates a situation where a Jordan 1 rep in US 10 might fit like a 9.5 from one factory and a 10.5 from another. The solution is never to rely on your usual size. Always measure yourself, check the seller's size chart, and request measurements in QC photos. This guide provides detailed sizing advice for every major rep category.

Clothing and Apparel Sizing

For t-shirts, measure your favorite fitting tee's chest width and length, then compare against the seller's chart. Add 2-4cm to the chest measurement if you want an oversized fit. For hoodies and sweatshirts, check the shoulder width and sleeve length in addition to chest. Chinese hoodies often have shorter sleeves than Western cuts. For pants and shorts, measure your waist and inseam. Chinese pants typically have shorter inseams. If you are over 6 feet tall, always check the inseam measurement before ordering. For accessories like hats and belts, one-size-fits-most items from China tend to run small. Caps may have shallower crowns, and belts may have shorter lengths. Check measurements or size up when available.
