Measure your waist and find the closest number in the chart. For example, a waist of 82.6 cm matches Carhartt size 38-39 most closely. If you sit between two sizes, the larger one is usually the safer choice for a comfortable fit.
How to measure for a Carhartt size
Use a soft tape measure, keep it level and snug without pulling it tight, and measure over thin clothing or underwear.
Chest: around the fullest part, under the arms, with the tape level all the way round.
Waist: around the narrowest part of your torso for tops, or where your trousers sit for bottoms.
Hip: around the fullest part of your hips and seat, feet together.
Inseam: from the crotch down the inside of the leg to where you want the hem, or copy it from trousers that fit.
Carhartt publishes its chart in inches. This page shows every measurement in both centimetres and inches, so use whichever your tape measure reads.
Does Carhartt run small or large?
It depends on the garment and on you, which is why the chart matters more than the label. Carhartt size 38-39 is made for a waist of about 82.6 cm. Compare that with your own waist measurement rather than the size you usually wear elsewhere.
What if I am between two Carhartt sizes?
Check which measurement matters most for the garment: chest for tops, waist and inseam for trousers. If you are still between sizes, go up for a relaxed fit or down for a closer one.
Where does this Carhartt size chart come from?
It comes from Carhartt's own published size guide at carhartt.com. Brands update their charts from time to time, so check the brand's page before an important order.
