4XL size chart: chest, waist and hips
Chest is only one of the numbers on a chart. A top can clear the chest and still pull at the waist or hips, so compare all three.
| Label | Chest or bust | Waist | Hips |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nike men's 3XL | 53.5–58136–147 | 47.5–52.5121–133 | 50.5–53.5128–136 |
| Nike men's 4XL | 58–63147–160 | 52.5–57133–145 | 53.5–58.5136–149 |
| adidas men's 3XL | 51.5–56131–142 | 47.5–52121–132 | 49.5–53126–135 |
| Nike women's 3X | 52–55132–140 | 49–53124–135 | 57–61145–155 |
| Nike women's 4X | 55–58140–147 | 53–57135–145 | 61–65155–165 |
| adidas women's 3X | 49–52.5124–133 | 43–46.5109–118 | 51.5–55131–140 |
| adidas women's 4X | 53–56.5135–144 | 47–50.5119–128 | 55.5–59141–150 |
Read across a row rather than down a column. Nike's men's 4XL and women's 4X list nearly the same waist, 52.5–57 and 53–57 inches. The hips are where they part: 53.5–58.5 inches on the men's line and 61–65 inches on the women's line. That is why 4XL and 4X shouldn't be treated as one size, even at one brand.
How far apart the sizes are
At Nike, the men's chest range moves up 4.5 to 5 inches from 3XL to 4XL. Strongsize moves in 4 inch steps and leaves a 1 inch gap between labels: its 4XL ends at 60 inches and its 5XL starts at 61. If your measurement lands in a gap, the tool on this page shows the larger size.
Where each chart stops
4XL is the largest label on Nike's men's tops chart, which ends at a 63 inch chest. adidas's standard men's chart ends at 3XL, with a 4XL listed only in its Tall table. Strongsize continues to 8XL, at 73–76 inches. If you need more than a 4XL, that decides which brands are worth comparing at all.
Chart measurement or shirt measurement?
Some charts list the measurement a size is meant to fit, and others list the garment laid flat. Gildan's 5000 T-shirt lists a 4XL at 30 inches across the chest laid flat. Its 3XL is 28 inches and its 5XL is 32 inches. Don't compare those numbers directly with your chest measurement.
Doubling the flat width gives the distance around the shirt: 60 inches for a Gildan 4XL. BELLA+CANVAS lists its 3001 T-shirt at the same 30 inches. To use these numbers, lay a shirt you already like flat, measure across the chest from armpit to armpit, and compare like with like.
Check the length too
Width and length don't always grow together. Strongsize lists its 4XL T-shirt at 34.5 inches long in regular length and 37.5 inches in longer length. Nike's Tall tops add 1.75 inches of length.
If you are between sizes
Nike suggests the smaller size for a tighter fit and the larger size for a looser fit. If your chest and waist point to different sizes, it says to go by your chest.
