What this means in practice
Menswear tops and suits are sized by chest measurement: EU 48 is a 38 in (~97 cm) chest. Measure around the fullest part of your chest, level under the arms. Tailored jackets run close to this number; relaxed-fit knitwear often sits a size larger, so check the brand's own chart for outerwear.
How we calculate this
Men's tops and suits convert by chest size in inches (US = UK, EU = US + 10). EU 48 is a 38 in chest (97 cm). These are published size-system conversions, not a per-brand fit guarantee.

How clothing size systems relate
The US and UK use numbers (or chest inches for menswear), the EU uses its own numeric scale, and Japan mixes numbers and letters. Most of the world also labels garments S / M / L / XL. Women's and men's systems do not convert the same way, so use the matching chart below. Fit still varies by brand — treat the equivalent size as your starting point.
