Vintage Clothing Measurements & Condition Guide
How are vintage clothes measured?
At EKVINTA, every garment is measured by hand while laid flat. Because vintage pieces vary by material and era, measurements may differ by ±1 cm. Compare our measurements with a garment you already own that fits well.
Vintage size labels can differ across decades, brands and styles. Checking the actual measurements helps you judge the fit before buying.
What do our vintage clothing condition grades mean?
Our items are genuine vintage or carefully selected second-hand clothing. Some may show signs of past wear. We describe and photograph their condition so you can choose with confidence.
- New. Brand-new condition, with or without tags.
- Excellent. Pre-loved, with no visible signs of wear.
- Good. Gently used, with minor natural wear; small flaws are described and photographed.
- Fair. More visible wear or defects, explained in the description and photos.
How do I choose the right vintage size?
Read the condition description and look closely at the photos to understand each garment’s wear and details.
Focus on measurements rather than the size tag. The cut, fabric and rise can also change how a vintage garment fits. Compare the listed measurements with a similar item that fits you well.
How does EKVINTA describe each item?
We inspect, measure and describe each piece so you know what to expect. Our vintage collection celebrates individual style and garments with their own character and history.
