Chinese trouser and jeans size chart

Three real trouser sheets from Taobao, explained, with the Chinese words for waist, hips, inseam and hem.

Read this first

Rates change daily, sizes differ by brand, and the seller's own chart always wins. I checked these on 29 October 2026.

Trouser sheets list several body or garment measurements, and the size names vary. Here are three real Taobao sheets, with the Chinese words you will see. Measure your own waist and hips in cm first, then compare. To switch inches and centimetres use the unit converter.

Sheet 1: numbered sizes 29 to 38 (waist in inches)

This English sheet is from a made-to-order seller. The size is the waist in inches: size 30 is a 76.2 cm waist, because 30 x 2.54 = 76.2. The seller says each piece is hand-sewn, can differ by 1 to 2 cm, and has extra fabric in the seams so it can be altered.

"Foot" is most likely the leg opening at the hem, like 脚口 on the next sheet, but the sheet does not say. Ask the seller.

Sheet 2: letters S to 3XL, all in Chinese

The top line says the real item may differ in colour from the photo and may have loose threads, and that if you mind this you should not order (由于拍照原因实物与图片会有色差,也会有线头。介意慎拍。). The article number is GZK22001.

I read the third column as the thigh or crotch measurement, but I am not sure of the exact meaning, so ask the seller if it matters for fit.

Sheet 3: cm and inches, with weight

This one gives each size in cm and inches, plus the weight of the trousers in kg. The English words are machine translations: "Bit" means hips (臀围), "outside length" is the full length (裤长) and "inner length" is the inseam (内长). The note at the bottom says the pieces are measured lying flat (the "paving volume") and a 1 to 3 cm error is normal. Unit: cm, weight: kg.

3XL10012811381.50.44

On the listing the size buttons were S, M, L, XL, XXL and XXXL, while the sheet says 2XL and 3XL. They mean the same sizes, but always match the button to the sheet row. The price on the listing was 52 yuan.

Sheets seen on Taobao on 30 October 2026. I have not ordered these items. Seller sheets do not always say whether the numbers are the body or the finished garment, and they can differ by 1 to 3 cm, so between two sizes I would go up one. Ask the seller (客服) before you buy.
