Cavalleria Toscana comes from Italy and makes its clothing in Italian sizes. This regularly causes uncertainty with women's items: is a 40 a 40? No – but the conversion is simple. With men's items you do not need to convert at all. This guide shows both and gives the body measurements that Cavalleria Toscana states for its sizes.

How does Cavalleria Toscana fit?

True to size. Cavalleria Toscana runs neither small nor large. Order your usual size – for women's items the German size, for men's items the size you normally wear.

Women: the Italian size is six sizes higher

According to Cavalleria Toscana, the Italian women's size is six sizes above the German one. An IT 40 therefore corresponds to a DE 34. So that you do not have to calculate, the shop shows both details on all women's items, for example DE 34 / IT 40.

Measuring correctly

• Bust: horizontally across the fullest part of the bust, under the arms.
• Waist: at the narrowest part of the torso, usually a little above the navel.
• Hips: horizontally across the fullest part of the buttocks.

Measure in underwear and with a soft tape measure. For breeches, waist and hips are the decisive measurements.

Socks, gloves, belts

• Riding socks: S fits shoe sizes EU 36 to 39, M fits EU 40 to 42, L fits EU 43 to 45.
• Riding gloves: Cavalleria Toscana uses letters. XS corresponds to sizes 6 and 6.5, S to sizes 7 to 8, M 8.5 to 9.5, L 10 and 10.5.
• Belts: the size describes the overall length. For women, S is 87 cm, M 97 cm and L 107 cm long; for men, S is 103 cm, M 113 cm and L 123 cm.
