Mil-Tec Size Guide

This is Mil-Tec's own size chart for clothing, boots and headwear. Mil-Tec is a German brand, and the chart converts between German sizes, Bundeswehr sizes (BW), US letter sizes (S, M, L etc.) and inches. Most of our Mil-Tec items are listed in US sizes.

Please note: Mil-Tec does not give body measurements in cm for chest, waist or inside leg. If you are unsure, compare with a garment you already own, or ask us – we can often measure the item for you.
