FIND YOUR FIT
Getting the right fit is essential for comfort, performance and freedom of movement on site. Use this guide to help find your ideal fit in clothing and safety footwear.
Makita Workwear is designed with a work-focused fit, allowing for movement and layering without restriction.
If you’re between sizes or prefer a looser fit, we recommend sizing up.
HOW TO MEASURE
CHEST
Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape level under your arms.
WAIST
Measure around your natural waistline, just above the hips.
INSIDE LEG
Measure from the top of the inside leg down to the ankle.
FOOTWEAR
Select your usual UK shoe size. If you’re between sizes, we recommend sizing up.
FOOTWEAR FIT TIPS
Not all footwear fits the same. This size guide provides a good indication of the size you should choose, but there may be slight variations between styles.
Wearing correctly fitting footwear is essential for comfort and long-term foot health. Your foot shape can change over time, so it’s important to check your size regularly.
For the best fit, always measure both feet - most people have one foot slightly larger than the other. Fit to the larger foot and try footwear on with your usual work socks.

WORKWEAR FIT TIPS
The fit of workwear depends on the cut, fabric and style of the garment. If you’re unsure, follow the measuring guide and refer to the size chart to find the right fit you.
If you’re between sizes, consider whether you prefer a closer fit or extra room for layering, and ensure your workwear allows for unrestricted movement.
TROUSERS
Semi-tailored woven and stretch-woven garments with a mid-rise fit, designed to skim the leg with a slight taper and finish full length. They should fit comfortably at the waist, allowing enough room to move without restriction.
T-SHIRTS & SWEATSHIRTS / HOODIES
Relaxed-fit garments that skim the body without feeling baggy or oversized. Designed to sit around the hip for a comfortable, easy fit.
JACKETS & BODYWARMERS
Relaxed-fit garments that skim the body and allow for light layering. Designed to sit at the low hip for extra coverage and comfort.
