Fit & sizing guide

Updated 2026-09-30

How Leumas checks whether a piece fits a man 170 cm and under, what each fit label means, and how to choose a size for tops, trousers and shoes.

The approach

What is Leumas?

Leumas is a Canadian online menswear store for men 170 cm and shorter. Instead of trusting a size label, every piece is checked against its published garment measurements (body length, chest, sleeve, rise and inseam) and ranked by how well it fits your height.

Why not just buy the smallest size?

A smaller size label usually takes width off along with length. On a shorter frame the smallest size can still run long in the body or sleeve, or fit the length but pull across the chest. Leumas grades length, chest and sleeve separately for every size at your height, so you can see which size gets all of them right, or which one misses and by how much.

Where do the measurements come from?

From the maker's published size chart for each piece: finished garment dimensions, measured flat. Small differences between pieces are normal in production, and the product page shows the maker's tolerance where it is published. Where a piece has not yet been checked on a physical sample, the product page says so.

Choosing a size

What do I need to enter?

Your height is enough. Adding your weight sets your build (slim, regular or broad), and you can add your waist, inseam and chest, plus whether you like a closer, regular or relaxed cut. Your profile is saved on your device only; no account is needed.

Set your fit profile

What do Fits, Close fit and Doesn't fit mean?

Fits: every graded measurement of that size falls in the right range for your height and build. Close fit: the nearest miss is within 2 cm, the measuring tolerance of a size chart. Doesn't fit: at least one measurement misses by more than 2 cm, and the product page names which one (for example, body length too long by 4 cm) so you can decide for yourself.

Which size do you recommend when several fit?

When more than one size passes every check, the recommendation follows your cut preference: the smallest passing size for a closer fit, the largest for a relaxed fit, and the middle one for regular.

Which heights are covered?

Sizes are graded for every height from 150 cm. The shop and menu also group pieces for 160 cm and under, 161–165 cm and 166–170 cm. If you are outside a piece's graded range, it is graded at the nearest height it covers and the product page tells you.

Shop by fit for your height

Tops and outerwear

How is body length judged?

Each size's body length is compared with a target that scales with your height and with the style of the piece, so a cropped jacket and a hip-length shirt are not held to the same length.

How is sleeve length judged?

By sleeve reach: the distance from the centre back of the neck to the cuff, taken as half the shoulder width plus the sleeve length. A long sleeve should end at the wrist for your height, within a small window. A short sleeve must end above the elbow. Dropped-shoulder cuts make the reach an estimate, and the product page flags it.

How is the chest checked?

The garment's chest circumference must leave enough room over a typical chest for your height and build (set by your weight), with more room allowed in jackets, puffers and coats so a knit fits underneath.

Trousers, jeans and shorts

How are trousers checked?

Leg length (the inseam, or the outside leg less the rise where the maker lists only that) is compared with a target for your height, with a different allowance for trousers, jeans and cropped styles. The front rise is checked too, so the waistband does not sit too high on a shorter torso.

How are shorts and 7/8-length trousers checked?

On their outside leg length for your height: shorts must end at or above the knee, and 7/8-length trousers below the knee and above the ankle.

Shoes

How do I choose a shoe size?

Measure your foot from the heel to the longest toe and choose the size whose foot-length range includes it; that range is the maker's own chart and is the most reliable guide. UK and US/Canadian sizes follow the foot length where the maker gives it, otherwise the standard men's conversion, and can differ by half a size.

Do you list how much height a shoe adds?

Yes. Where the maker lists it, the product page gives the height added by the sole or by a lift built inside the shoe, in centimetres.

If it doesn't fit

Can I return a piece that doesn't fit?

Yes. Unworn, unwashed items with tags attached can be returned within 30 days of delivery, unless the product page says otherwise. Return shipping is paid by the customer unless the item arrived damaged or was mislabelled.

Return & refund policy

What is the Fit Studio?

A visual guide that draws a figure at your measurements wearing the piece at its real garment measurements, marking where it will sit close or loose. It helps you picture proportion; the size recommendation on the product page is the fit check.
