- 5/5Opinion confirmed by purchaseVery much worth it. They didn't have the size I asked so they offered me a bigger one, that I accepted. It fits perfectly fine, apparently East Germans were rather small.2025-12-04
People vary primarily in height and width. The East Germans took this into account in a very special way, combining the European sizing system numbers with German language and East German specialties.
Widths
Widths are like normal European sizing widths, except they do not affect length, and some sizes are left out to simplify things.
METRIC
| Size | Chest | Waist | Easy size |
|---|---|---|---|
| 44 | 85-92 cm | 71-78 cm | Small |
| 48 | 93-100 cm | 79-86 cm | Medium |
| 52 | 101-108 cm | 87-94 cm | Large |
| 56 | 109-116 cm | 95-102 cm | X-Large |
| 60 | 117-124 cm | 103-110 cm | 2X-Large |
IMPERIAL
| Size | Chest | Waist | Easy size |
|---|---|---|---|
| 44 | 33.5" - 36" | 28" 30.5" | Small |
| 48 | 36.5" - 39.5" | 31" - 34" | Medium |
| 52 | 40" - 42.5" | 34" - 37" | Large |
| 56 | 43" - 45.5" | 37.5" - 40" | X-Large |
| 60 | 46" - 49" | 40.5" - 43.5" | 2X-Large |
As a special touch suffix numbers are used to account for different body types, for an example SK48-0 or G52-1. These add or subtract 8 cm (a wee bit short of 3") from the waist as follows:
- 0 = -8 cm, Athletic body with slender waist
- No suffix = No effect, normal body type
- 1 = +8 cm, Dad body
- 2 = +16 cm, Beer belly

Lengths are determined by letter codes. They are short for German words Sehr Klein, Klein, Mittelgroß, Groß, Sehr Groß and Übergroß. Here's what they mean:
