?

 

[destrekor]

a men's small is probaly close to a boys xl, or hmm.. could be close to boys large.

It's more related to height than anything else.

A boy's large would not fit a 5' 8 to 6 ft tall man.... but a men's 34-36 could, depending on the length listed.

When I went from 18/20 pants I think it went to a 28x28 or 30x30 (or soemthing around there).

 

[narutofan36]

how do those numbers even work? 16-18? 34-36?

If you are talking of Men's sizes, the first number is waist size, the second is leg length (for example: 30x32 = 30 inch waist, 32 inch leg). For boys sizes, the 18/20 is just a size number and I don't believe it is anything significant in the actual measurements of the clothing.

 

[narutofan36]

what about shirts?

 

[Isla]

What are your measurements? PM me and I'll tell you if you can wear boys clothes or not.

Boys 18-20 = Mens 29-30
