## KakoBuy Size Guide: Complete Sizing Chart for All Categories

Wrong sizing is the most common complaint among KakoBuy buyers. The good news is that it is almost entirely preventable. This guide covers how to measure yourself, how to read KakoBuy size charts, and how to request measurements in QC photos. Follow these steps, and you will eliminate most sizing issues.

Why Sizing Is Different on KakoBuy

Replica sizing varies for several reasons:

• **Different factories**: Each factory uses its own sizing standard
• **Asian sizing**: Many items are produced in Asian sizing, which runs smaller than US/EU
• **No universal standard**: Unlike retail brands, there is no consistent size standard across sellers
• **Shrinkage**: Some materials shrink 2–3% after washing

This is why you should **never assume TTS** (true to size). Always verify.

How to Measure Yourself Accurately

Before ordering, measure your body. You need these measurements:

Use a fabric tape measure for accuracy. Do not guess. Write down every measurement and keep it for reference.

Category-Specific Sizing Guide

#### Shoes

Shoes require the most precise sizing. Follow this process:

1. **Measure your foot in CM**: Place your foot on paper, mark the heel and longest toe, measure the distance
2. **Find the size chart insole measurement**: The chart shows the insole length for each size
3. **Compare your foot to the insole**: Add 0.5–1cm for comfort. If your foot is 27cm, look for an insole of 27.5–28cm
4. **Request insole measurement in QC**: Always confirm the actual size before shipping

**Tip**: EU sizing is more consistent than US sizing. Use CM or EU as your reference.

#### Hoodies and Sweaters

Hoodies often run oversized or undersized depending on the factory:

• **Measure**: Chest width, length, sleeve length
• **Compare**: Check all three measurements against the chart
• **Fit preference**: If you want oversized, size up. If you want fitted, size down or check the chart carefully.
• **Shrinkage**: Cotton blends may shrink 2–3%. Add that to your calculation.

#### T-Shirts

T-shirts vary widely in fit:

• **Standard fit**: Usually matches the chart if you measure correctly
• **Oversized fit**: Some are intentionally oversized. Check the description.
• **Length**: T-shirts often run short or long. Check the length measurement.
• **Chest**: The most important measurement. Make sure the chest fits.

#### Jackets

Jackets are tricky because they need room for layering:

• **Shoulder width**: Critical. If too narrow, the jacket will restrict movement.
• **Chest**: Add 2–4cm if you plan to wear a hoodie underneath.
• **Sleeve length**: Should cover your wrist. Check the chart.
• **Length**: Some jackets run short. Verify the length measurement.

#### Pants and Shorts

• **Waist**: Measure your natural waist. If between sizes, size up for comfort.
• **Inseam**: The length of the leg. This determines where the pants sit.
• **Thigh**: Important for slim-fit pants. If you have athletic thighs, check this measurement.
• **Rise**: The distance from crotch to waistband. Affects where the pants sit.

#### Headwear

• **Caps**: Measure head circumference. Most snapbacks are adjustable. Check the strap range.
• **Beanies**: Stretchy and forgiving. Measure if you are between sizes.
• **Bucket hats**: Check brim width. Some are wider than others.

#### Accessories

• **Belts**: Measure your waist or current belt. Check the length range.
• **Bags**: Check dimensions. Verify the bag fits your intended use.
• **Wallets**: Check card slot capacity. Some wallets hold more cards than others.

How to Read a KakoBuy Size Chart

Size charts on KakoBuy are usually in CM. Here is how to read them:

If your chest is 100cm, you might think a 108cm chest is too big. But remember: - The chart shows the garment measurement, not body measurement - Add 2–8cm for comfort and movement - A 108cm chest on a 100cm body gives you room to move

Requesting Measurements in QC

Always request measurements in QC photos. For shoes, request insole measurement. For clothing, request chest, length, and sleeve. For pants, request waist, inseam, and thigh.

The agent can measure the item and include the measurement in the QC photos. This is the most reliable way to confirm sizing.

Sizing Mistakes to Avoid

• **Guessing your size**: Measure. Do not guess.
• **Assuming TTS**: Replica sizing is not standard. Always check.
• **Ignoring shrinkage**: Cotton items shrink. Account for it.
• **Not checking all measurements**: A shirt might fit your chest but be too short. Check everything.
• **Not requesting QC measurements**: The chart might be wrong. QC measurements confirm.
