Need to know if a US size mens shirt is the same for the UK size?

Hi, trying to buy a mens shirt from the U.S (Not a dress or formal shirt so no neck size) which will either be a 4XL or 5XL. Can’t figure out if they are the same size in both countries? Google no help, just confusing as for instance ladies say for example can be a 30 inch chest but will NOT be the same size in the UK to the US but the inches are the same. Different web sites say different things – HELP!!!!!!!


It is confusing. Brand to brand sizing can be different and that annoys me as I do most of my clothes shopping online so I have to send it back. I’d recommend sending the store an email asking about the sizing rather than just going by a general sizing if you’re unsure. They should be happy to help.

    you might find the mens stuff comes up a bit bigger

    when i was in the us trying to buy a t-shirt for my friend who is quite thin but quite tall so usually would get a large in uk for the length it was hard for me to choose because a large seemed too large although it was long enough

    i hope that makes sense lol
