Convert inches to centimeters for clothing sizes, shoe measurements, body measurements, chest, waist, hips, inseam, sleeve length, hat size, belt size, ring measurements, and international size charts.
Inches to centimeters:
cm = inches × 2.54
Centimeters to inches:
inches = cm ÷ 2.54
Chest example:
40 inch chest = 101.6 cm
Inseam example:
32 inch inseam = 81.28 cm
Inches to cm conversions are useful for clothing size charts, shirt sizes, pants sizes, shoe measurements, belt sizes, hat sizes, ring measurements, tailoring, body measurements, international shopping, and online size guides.
Use this converter when a size chart lists inches but you need centimeters, or when a chart lists centimeters but you measured in inches.
Your result shows the entered measurement converted between inches and centimeters. The converter also displays reference values in both units and gives a short note based on the selected measurement type.
Size chart conversions are only part of clothing fit. Clothing size can also depend on brand, cut, fabric stretch, shrinkage, body shape, shoe shape, ring width, and whether the item is slim, regular, relaxed, fitted, or oversized.

Many US size charts use inches, while many international size charts use centimeters. Showing both makes size comparison easier.
For general clothing size charts, rounding to the nearest half inch or nearest centimeter is usually enough. For rings or precise tailoring, use more exact measurements.
