Buying clothes from Gearbest

[monty]

Anyone done this? I just wonder about the size because Europeans are bigger than Chinese. It would make sense if their small is small for a Chinese bloke. Then their large would be our medium.

If you're anything approaching XL in size forget it!

Ah the Walmart look.

my son really liked a particular tshirt on chinabuye...he's 16, slimmish build and about 5foot9
we bought a XL after finding some conversion charts..it arrived and fits, but I would say its a wee bit on the small side of "fits".
I think chinabuye do more clothing than you would realise, and I remember there was a tshirt conversion chart on their site somewhere...giving inches around shoulders, tummy etc so you can work out yourself (with a tape measure) roughly what size to get.

hope this helps...rule of thumb seems to be buy 2 to 3 sizes bigger than you would in the UK.

My first time in China I struggled to get a jacket to fit me. Admittedly, I was in a VERY small town called Huatugouzhen, where I don't think they had seen too many foreigners. It took me a while, but eventually found a jacket labelled as XL that fit me. They didn't really go up to XL very often over there. BUT, I was an XL at the time.
