MM6 Size Guide: Clothing, Jeans and Shoes
MM6 Maison Margiela uses four size systems: Italian sizes for tailoring and dresses, letter sizes for jersey and knitwear, waist sizes for jeans and EU sizes for shoes. Luxury Handbags shows Italian sizes in UK sizes and lists only the sizes MM6 makes. Every product page, from jeans like the Curved-Seam Wide-Leg Jeans in Blue to ballet flats, carries its own size line.
Clothing: Italian to UK and US
| IT | UK | US | FR |
| 36 | 4 | 0 | 32 |
| 38 | 6 | 2 | 34 |
| 40 | 8 | 4 | 36 |
| 42 | 10 | 6 | 38 |
| 44 | 12 | 8 | 40 |
| 46 | 14 | 10 | 42 |
Italian sizes run four above UK, so an IT 42 is a UK 10. MM6 publishes no general sizing correction, so take your usual size. Many pieces, such as the Cotton Trench Coat in Black, are cut generously on purpose; read the fit note on the page before sizing down.
Letter sizes
T-shirts, sweatshirts and much of the knitwear come in XXS to XXXL. As a guide, XS is a UK 6, S a UK 8, M a UK 10 and L a UK 12. See our T-shirts and hoodies guide.
Jeans
Most MM6 jeans are sized by waist in inches, from 24 to 33. A 26 is roughly a UK 8 and a 28 a UK 10. A few denim trousers use Italian sizes instead. More in MM6 jeans.
Shoes: EU to UK
| EU | UK | US |
| 35 | 2 | 5 |
| 36 | 3 | 6 |
| 37 | 4 | 7 |
| 38 | 5 | 8 |
| 39 | 6 | 9 |
| 40 | 7 | 10 |
| 41 | 8 | 11 |
Most MM6 shoes come in half sizes, such as 37.5 EU, and Luxury Handbags lists them all. The MM6 x Salomon sneakers are cut in thirds of a size; we list the whole sizes. See MM6 shoes and MM6 ballet flats.
Bags
MM6 bags are one size, and each page lists height, length, width and handle drop. See the Japanese bag size guide.
