Are the italian sizes as big or small as the rest of european sizes???
A bit smaller! It’s due to the fact that Italian people tend to be smaller (and thinner) than other Europeans! For example, a German XS for woman is an Italian S, and in Germany it’s hard to find an Italian XS (German XXS) in big shops such as Mango or H&M…
What size is German 34? I’ve been looking at clothes and thats the smallest size on the site, just wondering if thats their smallest or not?
I have dainese jacket size 50 … Is that m or s ?
