Costume Sizes

The main decisive factor is the height of the person. If the person is rather corpulent, order the next size up. If in doubt, always opt for the bigger size (it is not a problem if the costume is a bit big, however the opposite can be disastrous).

Size	Height	Metric	Imperial
S	up to 172cm	5.64ft	7.7ins
M	up to 177cm	5.81ft	9.7ins
L	up to 182cm	5.97ft	11.7ins
XL	up to 182cm	5.97ft	11.7ins
