no same. As ever a Large in one shop mioghtn't be the same in every shop but for jeans, tops, shirts etc its the same
I find that medium there is a large here when buying tops
L, XL, XXL, XXXL, XXXXL & XXXXXL :DQuote:

For example abercrombie sizes dont get any "bigger" from medium upwards, they just get longer......Tommy get longer and wider from large up, but generally a medium over there is a large over here. It all depends whether ye like yer designer or not ;) The 32 and 34 can be varying between all shops. I have 32 that are the same size as 34, for example guess and abercrombie. And then I have some 34 that are smaller. Then i have a dkny and diesel pair that are very tight 32!! so it all depends....
Simple answer, just try them on :)
Don't think that can be done over the internet though can it? He might be buying online;).Quote:

- CO (Clinically Obese).
Choose wisely...
From my experiences a large in the US is like an XL here, a medium in the US, a large here.
The Americans believe it or not are slightly 'bigger boned', 14 stone over there for a male is someone who required 'beefing' up.
NB: Ever get a 'large' pop/soda at the 'movies'......a small bucket.
cheers everyone....it was for a girl in work looking to get her boyfreind some abercombie stuff for xmas.....
ye know, abercrombie over there is for 18 - 22 year olds, not really for anyone older, but it seems over here we buy it till we are 30!
It is great quality stuff though, i have some stuff left from 5 years ago!
Stop letting on you're 23-27 yrs old POS......... :DQuote:
