Size guide for JBS of Denmark men
Short answer: The sizes at JBS of Denmark follow ordinary Danish men sizes from S to XXL. Measure your waist and chest and compare with the size chart of the brand rather than going by your usual trouser size.
Find the chart
The measurements of the brand are gathered in the size guide JBS of Denmark men. Use it rather than guessing, because the charts are not the same across brands.
Measure in the right places
For tops you measure the chest at the widest point with your arms down at your sides. For bottoms you measure the waist where the trousers normally sit.
Between two sizes
If you are between two, the use decides. If the shirt is to be worn under a shirt, take the smaller. If it is to be worn alone and loose, take the larger. See more in between two sizes.
Underwear
Underpants are chosen by waist measurement and not by what you usually take in trousers. See the models in bamboo underpants for men.
Tops
T-shirts and vests should fit across the shoulder first. If the shoulder seam sits further out than the shoulder itself, the shirt is too big. See bamboo t-shirts for men.
After washing
Bamboo viscose does not shrink noticeably at 40 degrees. If the clothes get smaller, it is usually the tumble dryer. See the washing guide.
Why measurements beat habit
Cuts and series change over time, while a measurement in centimetres stays fixed. That makes the chart more reliable than the size you usually take. Measure yourself once and keep the numbers.
Underwear wears at the waist
Whatever the size, the waistband is the first thing to go slack. A size that squeezes from the start wears out faster, because the elastic is stretched all the time. See the models in bamboo underwear for men.
Frequently asked questions
Should I choose my normal size?
Usually yes, but measure against the chart. Cuts are not the same across brands and series.
Do the clothes shrink?
Not noticeably at 40 degrees. The tumble dryer is what pulls at the fabric.
What if I am between two sizes?
Choose by use. Close under a shirt speaks for the smaller, loose wear for the larger.
