  • What do the letters mean next to each number size?

    • If the size for an item is a number followed by an upper case letter, that letter will indicate the type of cut the item received. Not all items are made in each size line.

      • R stands for “Regular”. This is our manufacturer’s regular cut of items. This is the base size cut.
      • S stands for “Slim”. Compared to our “Regular” size line, this line will have a waistline that is 2-3 inches smaller.
      • H stands for “Half” or “Husky”. This size line is for children who are wider in the waist by 3-5 inches, without being too tall in length. This size line does NOT feature items in between numbered sizes. For example, size 10H is not between size 10R and 12R.
      • P stands for “Prep”. There isn’t too much to this size line, other than that they are the transition sizes between the largest Regular size and the Men’s/Junior’s sizes.
      • M stands for “Men’s”. This size line is for larger boys, beginning with a waistline of 28″ and will feature inseam lengths of 30″+.
      • J stands for “Juniors”. These are the older girls’ sizes.  This size line features inseam lengths  30″+.
      • T stands for “Teen”. This size line will only apply to plaid jumpers and skirts. This size line will feature larger length measurements.
