Vigorbuy size guide: measure before choosing

There is no single Vigorbuy size chart for every listing

A Vigorbuy spreadsheet can include many sellers and garment types. A label such as M, XL or EU 42 is an option to select, not a shared measurement standard for everything in the directory. Use the exact seller’s chart and confirm the selected version.

The sizes on our cards come from source listings. We have not measured these products.

What the actual size labels do—and do not—tell us

These are three real catalog records, with their individual listing-check dates. They are useful for ruling out an unlisted size, but contain no measured chest, waist or inseam values.

To shortlist records by label, open a category and use Recorded size label. This searches its recorded options across every page; it does not establish measurements or current stock. Try the size and QC filtering example →

For the two hoodies, an L on each row gives no numerical comparison. The front-zip listing has an extra XXL option; that does not establish that its L is larger. For the grey shorts, no S was recorded. Moving to M without a waist measurement would substitute a guess for the missing information.

Keep a measurement record you can actually compare

Write down the exact listing and option, the chart date, units, measuring endpoints and your reference garment’s values. Then record the seller’s values beside them. If a field is missing, leave it missing; height, weight and a familiar size letter do not fill it in.

A useful note reads “closed zip-up, underarm-to-underarm width, cm”, rather than just “chest”. If your reference is measured underarm-to-underarm but the seller supplies a body circumference, resolve that difference before subtracting one value from the other. The worked comparison below uses invented teaching values, clearly marked; none are measurements of these three items.

Vigorbuy shoe, hoodie and jeans sizing: five unresolved checks

We traced these five entries to their original seller pages on 22 October 2026. We did not confirm a measured size chart that could reliably be assigned to each selected option. This is a record of what remains unresolved in the accessible evidence, rather than a claim that no chart exists.

For the jeans, S is not a 28-inch waist and 5XL is not a measured waist range. For the black shoes, the seller explicitly pairs US and EUR labels; the white shoe page records bare numbers. Keep those two kinds of evidence separate rather than converting every “42” into the same fit.

For either grey hoodie, ask for the exact option and size together with the measurements. A chart for another design on the shared seller page could give a plausible-looking answer for the wrong garment. Read the two option-code checks, or review the original seller links and QC group labels.

Winter jackets and knitwear: leave room for the layer you will wear

For a jacket, choose a similar jacket that fits over the kind of layer you normally wear. Comparing it with a thin T-shirt can hide the extra room you need at the chest, upper arm and shoulder. Do not add a fixed number of centimetres to every chart: compare two garments measured the same way.

A puffer silhouette does not establish down content, fill weight or a temperature rating. A knit texture does not establish wool content. Keep those questions separate from fit and ask for the exact option’s composition or insulation details if they matter to your choice.

Measure a top that already fits the way you like

1. Lay a similar top flat without stretching it. For a zip-up, close it as specified by the seller’s method.
2. A — Chest width: measure between the underarm points if that is the chart’s method.
3. B — Body length: match the seller’s starting point, such as a shoulder point near the neck or the centre back. These methods are not interchangeable.
4. Check shoulder width and sleeve length separately if supplied. A drop-shoulder sleeve needs its own stated method.

For a jacket or hoodie, compare with something you already wear over a similar base layer. A model photo or the word “oversized” does not establish the garment dimensions.

Check the waistband and the leg measurements

1. Lay a pair you like flat, with the closure fastened and the fabric resting naturally.
2. C — Waist width: measure across the waistband using the seller’s alignment. For an elastic waist, check whether the chart is relaxed or stretched.
3. D — Inseam: measure along the inside-leg seam from the crotch join to the hem. Do not confuse it with total outer-leg length.
4. Compare rise, thigh width and leg opening when provided. For shorts, total length can be more useful than a size letter alone.

A numbered waist label does not establish every actual garment dimension. If the source supplies only S/M/L options, request a measurement chart before choosing.

Measure both feet and check the exact size system

1. Secure paper on a firm floor and wear the socks you expect to use.
2. With your foot resting naturally on the paper, trace its outline with the pen upright. Having someone help can make this easier.
3. E — Heel to toe: measure between the heel and the furthest toe point. Record both feet and use the longer result when consulting the chart.
4. Match that measurement with the seller’s stated foot-length method, units, model and US/UK/EU sizing system. Confirm width information if supplied.

These steps are consistent with the general approach in Nike’s foot-measurement guide ↗. That guide does not validate the fit or size conversion of our linked third-party listings.

Review the shoe directory

Flat width and body circumference are different

A shirt measured across the chest is not the same measurement as a tape around your body. Use the chart’s stated method; ask the seller when the label is unclear.

Matching the chest width does not settle the whole fit

All numbers in this table are teaching examples in centimetres, not measurements of a seller’s product. Imagine comparing a top you already like with two chart options. Each value uses the same flat-garment method.

Compare all the dimensions that matter to your fit, not just the chest width.

Width and circumference need an explicit definition

If a seller explicitly defines its chest value as twice the flat garment width, a stated 104 cm corresponds to 52 cm under that convention. A body chest of 104 cm is a different measurement: the chart must account for the intended garment fit. Do not treat the two as interchangeable.

Resolve the measuring method before the size choice

Record measurements in the same unit and repeat them without changing the method. For unit conversion, 1 inch equals 2.54 cm; converting the unit does not make different measurement methods comparable.

Questions that produce a usable size answer

Replace the bracketed measurement with your own result. These are example questions, not submitted messages. Keep the exact listing and option with your request, and confirm the response on the service handling that item.

If useful measurements remain unavailable, keep that uncertainty in the decision. A shared QC photo or a “true to size” comment does not supply the missing chart.
