02 /How to read men's Chinese labels
175/92A on a shirt
175 is target height in cm. 92 is chest in cm. A is the standard body type used in common retail labels.
175/80A on pants
For pants, the second number is waist, not chest. 175/80A is usually close to a US 32 waist.
When in doubt
Measure chest, waist and a similar garment you already own. Brand charts can differ from national-standard labels.
