Quick answer: This Marithé Korea size guide is product-specific. Do not convert S, M or L from another brand and order blindly. The official Korean store publishes flat garment measurements in centimeters for each item, and the same letter size can fit very differently across unisex, women’s, cropped and oversized styles. Measure a similar garment that already fits you, then compare chest width, length, shoulder and waist directly with the exact Marithé product page.

Is There One Marithé Korea Size Chart?
No single chart can accurately represent every Marithé Korea item. The official Korean store uses familiar labels such as XS, S, M, L and XL for many tops, while denim may use waist-style numbers such as 25–28 for women and 28–34 for men. But the label is only the starting point.
For example, the official Regular Logo Tee in size S has a 50 cm flat chest width, while the women’s Classic Logo Tee in size S has a 45.5 cm chest width. A Paris Oversized Sweatshirt in size S has a 62.5 cm chest width. All three carry the letter S, but their silhouettes and actual dimensions are very different.
- Unisex or standard fit: usually gives more room than a women-specific style, but check the numbers.
- Women’s or W styles: often use a shorter length and narrower chest.
- Crop styles: may fit the chest but still be much shorter than expected.
- Oversized styles: deliberately add width and sometimes dropped shoulders.
- Denim: the printed size is not a substitute for the flat waist and hip measurements.

How to Use the Official Korean Measurements
The Korean product pages state that measurements are taken flat in centimeters and may vary by approximately 1–3 cm depending on the measuring method and position. That means “chest width 50 cm” describes one side of the garment while it lies flat; it is not a 50 cm body circumference.
- Choose a T-shirt, sweatshirt or pair of jeans you already like.
- Lay it flat without stretching the fabric.
- Measure the same points shown on the Marithé product page.
- Compare garment to garment—not your body directly to a flat garment number.
- Allow for the official 1–3 cm measurement tolerance and for fabric stretch.
- If you fall between two sizes, decide whether you prefer a closer or looser silhouette.
| Official Korean term | English meaning | How it is usually measured |
|---|---|---|
| 총장 / 총길이 | Total length | Top of garment to bottom hem |
| 어깨 / 어깨너비 | Shoulder width | Across the shoulder seam points |
| 가슴 / 가슴너비 | Chest width | Armpit to armpit, laid flat |
| 소매길이 | Sleeve length | Shoulder seam to sleeve end |
| 허리 / 허리너비 | Waist width | Across the waistband, laid flat |
| 엉덩이 / 엉덩이너비 | Hip width | Across the widest hip area, laid flat |
| 밑위 / 밑위길이 | Front rise | Crotch seam to top of waistband |
To estimate a garment circumference, double a flat width. A 50 cm flat chest is approximately 100 cm around the garment before accounting for construction and stretch. For inches, divide centimeters by 2.54. The safest comparison is still the same measurement on your own garment.
Marithé Unisex Regular Logo Tee Size Guide
The official Regular Logo Tee is described as a standard-fit unisex T-shirt. Its official flat measurements are:
| Size | Length | Shoulder | Chest width | Sleeve |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | 62 cm | 46 cm | 50 cm | 18.5 cm |
| M | 65 cm | 48 cm | 52.5 cm | 20.5 cm |
| L | 68 cm | 50 cm | 55 cm | 22.5 cm |
| XL | 70 cm | 52 cm | 57.5 cm | 23.5 cm |
Each step adds roughly 2–2.5 cm of flat chest width. That is about 4–5 cm around the garment. Length also increases, so sizing up changes both width and vertical proportion. If your comparison T-shirt is close to 52–53 cm across the chest and 65 cm long, M is the closest starting point for this exact model.
Marithé Women’s Classic Logo Tee Size Guide
The official W Classic Logo Tee is a women’s standard-fit short-sleeve style. It is shorter and narrower than the unisex Regular Logo Tee.
| Size | Length | Shoulder | Chest width | Sleeve |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | 55 cm | 36 cm | 45.5 cm | 17 cm |
| M | 56 cm | 37.4 cm | 48 cm | 18 cm |
| L | 57 cm | 38.8 cm | 50.5 cm | 19 cm |
Do not treat the women’s S as equivalent to the unisex S. The women’s S is 7 cm shorter and 4.5 cm narrower across the chest in these two official examples. The women’s L chest width is close to the unisex S, but the shoulders and length remain substantially different. Choose by silhouette as well as width.
Cropped women’s designs can be shorter again. The official W Classic Logo Crop Tee, for example, lists a 42.5 cm length for S. Always check whether the product name includes “W,” “crop,” “slim,” “regular” or “oversized.”
Marithé Classic Logo Sweatshirt Size Guide
The official Classic Logo Sweatshirt is described as a standard-fit unisex style.
| Size | Length | Shoulder | Chest width | Sleeve |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | 62 cm | 48 cm | 56 cm | 57 cm |
| M | 65 cm | 50 cm | 58.5 cm | 61 cm |
| L | 68 cm | 52 cm | 61 cm | 63 cm |
| XL | 70 cm | 54 cm | 63.5 cm | 64 cm |
Sweatshirts need extra room for fabric thickness, ribbed hems and possible layering. Compare with a sweatshirt rather than a thin T-shirt. Also check whether the specific model is standard or oversized: the official Paris Oversized Sweatshirt in S lists a 62.5 cm chest width, which is wider than the Classic Logo Sweatshirt S at 56 cm.
Hands-On Marithé Korea Size Examples
The following original working photographs show labels from two Korean-market Marithé items handled in Korea. They demonstrate why the letter size alone is not a universal fit guide. A label can identify the model, color and tagged size, but it does not replace the garment measurements on the exact product page.
Example 1: W Vintage Classic Logo Half Sweatshirt, Size M
The oatmeal sweatshirt below is labeled MFG46USW111OTMM, size M, with a listed Korean retail price of ₩79,000. The tag confirms the size assigned to this particular model. It does not mean every Marithé women’s sweatshirt in M has the same chest width, length or shoulder measurement.
Example 2: W Terry Set-Up, Size S
The light heather gray item below is labeled MFG46UTS702LHGS, size S, with a listed Korean retail price of ₩99,000. This is another women’s model, but the S on this tag should only be interpreted together with its full model code and official measurements.
- Match the complete product code, not only the logo or product name.
- Confirm the color and tagged size on the label.
- Find the exact current or archived official product page and check its flat garment measurements.
- Compare those measurements with a similar garment you already own.

Marithé Women’s Denim Size Guide
Marithé women’s denim often uses numbered sizes, but the same printed number can change slightly between fits. The official W Wide Denim Pants measurements below are for that exact wide-leg model.
| Size | Length | Waist width | Hip width | Thigh width | Rise |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 25 | 102 cm | 33.75 cm | 47.75 cm | 30.4 cm | 28.5 cm |
| 26 | 103 cm | 35 cm | 49 cm | 31 cm | 29 cm |
| 27 | 104 cm | 36.25 cm | 50.25 cm | 31.6 cm | 29.5 cm |
| 28 | 105 cm | 37.5 cm | 51.5 cm | 32.2 cm | 30 cm |
A size 26 has a 35 cm flat waistband, or approximately 70 cm around the garment. That does not automatically mean it fits only a 70 cm body waist: where the jeans sit, the rise, fabric stretch and desired ease all matter. Compare the waistband, hip, rise and thigh with jeans of a similar cut.
Marithé Men’s Denim Size Guide
The official M Wide Raw Denim Pants uses sizes 28–34. Again, these are garment measurements for one model rather than a universal men’s conversion chart.
| Size | Length | Waist width | Hip width | Thigh width | Rise |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 28 | 105 cm | 37.5 cm | 49 cm | 34.4 cm | 32.4 cm |
| 30 | 106.5 cm | 40 cm | 51.5 cm | 35.7 cm | 33.2 cm |
| 32 | 108 cm | 42.5 cm | 54 cm | 37 cm | 34 cm |
| 34 | 109.5 cm | 45 cm | 56.5 cm | 38.3 cm | 34.8 cm |
The flat waist increases by 2.5 cm between sizes in this model, equivalent to roughly 5 cm around the garment. Length, hips, thighs and rise also change. If your waist comparison points to one size but your thigh comparison points to another, prioritize the area that is hardest to alter or that most affects comfort.
What If You Are Between Two Sizes?
- For a closer T-shirt fit: use your best-fitting tee as the reference and prioritize chest plus shoulder width.
- For an intentionally relaxed top: check that sizing up will not make the length or sleeves excessive.
- For a cropped top: decide on length first; extra chest room cannot compensate for an unwanted crop.
- For a sweatshirt: include the layers you expect to wear underneath.
- For rigid denim: prioritize waist, hip and thigh comfort; do not depend on stretch that the product composition does not promise.
- For stretch denim: review the fabric composition and seller’s return policy before choosing the smaller option.
If you cannot measure a comparison garment, ask the seller for the complete official chart and model code. A recommendation based only on height and weight is less reliable because body proportions and preferred fit differ.
Five Common Marithé Sizing Mistakes
- Assuming every Korean size runs small. Some women’s styles are compact, while unisex and oversized pieces can be roomy.
- Comparing a body circumference with a flat garment width. They are different measurements.
- Ignoring the fit word in the product name. Crop, W, slim, regular and oversized materially change the result.
- Using a chart from another model. Even products in the same category can have different dimensions.
- Checking only the waist number on denim. Hip, rise, thigh and length can determine whether the jeans actually work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Marithé Korea run small?
Not as a universal rule. Women’s and cropped styles may be narrower or shorter than unisex styles, while oversized products can be deliberately wide. Use the exact official garment measurements.
Are Marithé sizes Korean or international?
The Korean official store sells Korean-market products and publishes measurements in centimeters. Familiar letter or denim numbers do not guarantee an international equivalent.
Can women buy a unisex Marithé T-shirt?
Yes, but compare the unisex chest, shoulder and length with a garment you own. A unisex S can be substantially wider and longer than a women’s S.
What does “chest width” mean on the Korean site?
It is the flat width across the chest, usually measured from armpit to armpit. Double it for an approximate garment circumference.
How much measurement variation should I allow?
The official Korean product pages state that a 1–3 cm difference may occur depending on measuring method and position.
Should I size up for Marithé sweatshirts?
Only if the specific dimensions and your preferred layering support it. Sizing up also changes length, shoulders and sleeves—not just chest room.
Bottom Line
The most reliable Marithé Korea size guide is the measurement table on the exact product page. Confirm the model code, identify whether the item is women’s, unisex, cropped, regular or oversized, and compare its flat centimeters with a similar garment you already own. This method is more accurate than guessing from nationality, height and weight, or a generic S/M/L conversion.
