Size guide
Find the right fit before you order. Use our workwear and work boot size charts to compare brands like King Gee, Bisley, Steel Blue and Blundstone, convert AU, UK, US and EU boot sizes, and learn how to measure yourself properly.
Size charts for work shirts, hi-vis, pants, shorts, overalls and women's workwear from 13 brands.
AU, UK, US and EU size conversions with foot length for 13 work boot brands, plus work sock sizing.
Use a soft tape measure over light clothing. For boots, measure your foot length at the end of the day while wearing work socks.
Sizing differs between brands, so open the chart for the brand you're buying rather than going by the size you usually wear.
Each brand shows whether its chart uses body or garment measurements, plus fit tips like Stout pant sizing or wide-fit half sizes.
There's no single Australian sizing standard for workwear. A size L shirt from one brand can be several centimetres bigger in the chest than another, and work pants are sold by waist in centimetres (like 92R), inches (like 36) or letter sizes, depending on the brand.
Fit styles change things too. Bisley, for example, cuts its shirts in Traditional, Modern and Active fits, each with a different amount of room over your chest measurement. That's why we list every brand's own chart instead of one generic table.
Most Australian work pants come in three leg lengths, shown by the letter after the waist size:
Inside leg lengths differ by brand, so check the chart in our workwear size guide before you order.
Most work boots sold in Australia use AU/UK men's sizing, where AU and UK sizes are the same. As a general guide:
Some brands, like Bata, size by foot length in millimetres (Mondopoint), the most accurate way to match a boot to your foot. See every conversion in our work boots size guide.
A good fit matters on site. Clothing that's too loose can catch on tools and machinery, while gear that's too tight restricts movement when you're bending, lifting or climbing.
If you wear hi-vis shirts or jackets over other layers, measure with those layers on. For steel or composite toe boots, leave about a thumb's width of room at the toe and try them with the socks you'll wear at work.
Jump straight to the size chart for your brand.
Measure your chest, waist, hips and inside leg with a soft tape measure, then compare your measurements with the chart for the brand you're buying in our workwear size guide. If you're between two sizes, go with the bigger one.
No. Sizes vary between brands, and even between fit styles from the same brand. Always check the brand's own chart rather than relying on the size you usually wear.
They show the leg length: R is Regular, S is Stout (a shorter leg, sometimes called Short) and L is Long. The number is the waist size in centimetres, so 97S fits a 97 cm waist with a shorter leg.
Body measurements are your own measurements: the chart tells you which size fits your body. Garment measurements are the item itself laid flat, often shown as a half chest. To use a garment chart, lay a top that fits you well flat, measure across from armpit to armpit and compare.
AU and UK men's sizes are the same. US men's is usually one size up, and AU women's is usually two sizes up from UK. EU sizes vary by brand, so use the conversion chart for your brand in our work boots size guide.
Not automatically. Measure your foot at the end of the day while wearing work socks, then choose the size that matches your foot length. You should have about a thumb's width of room at the toe. If you're between sizes, go up.
Our work boots size guide includes a sock size chart. For example, GRVL socks come in Small (boot size 2–8), Regular (6–10) and King (11–14). If you're between sizes, size up.
See our returns policy for how to return or exchange an item. We recommend trying items on indoors and keeping the tags on until you're sure of the fit.
