Chinese trouser and jeans size chart
Three real trouser sheets from Taobao, explained, with the Chinese words for waist, hips, inseam and hem.
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.
| Size (waist inches) | Waistline cm | Hips cm | Length cm | Foot cm |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 29 | 73.66 | 96.52 | 102.01 | 34.29 |
| 30 | 76.2 | 99.06 | 103 | 34.92 |
| 31 | 78.74 | 101.6 | 103.66 | 35.56 |
| 32 | 81.28 | 104.14 | 105 | 36.2 |
| 33 | 83.82 | 106.68 | 105.99 | 36.83 |
| 34 | 86.36 | 109.22 | 107.01 | 37.47 |
| 36 | 91.44 | 114.3 | 108.99 | 38.74 |
| 38 | 96.52 | 119.38 | 110.01 | 40.01 |
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.
| Size | 腰围 waist cm | 臀围 hips cm | 裆围 thigh or crotch cm | 脚口 leg opening cm | 裤长 length cm |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | 69 | 94 | 61.5 | 50 | 102 |
| M | 73 | 98 | 64 | 51.5 | 103.5 |
| L | 79 | 104 | 67.5 | 54 | 105 |
| XL | 85 | 110 | 71 | 56.5 | 106.5 |
| 2XL | 91 | 116 | 74.5 | 59 | 108 |
| 3XL | 97 | 122 | 78 | 61.5 | 109.5 |
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.
| Size | Waist cm | Hips cm | Full length cm | Inseam cm | Weight kg |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | 72 | 100 | 108 | 79 | 0.34 |
| M | 76 | 104 | 109 | 79.5 | 0.36 |
| L | 82 | 110 | 110 | 80 | 0.38 |
| XL | 88 | 116 | 111 | 80.5 | 0.4 |
| 2XL | 94 | 122 | 112 | 81 | 0.42 |
| 3XL | 100 | 128 | 113 | 81.5 | 0.44 |
