Men's Ethnic Wear Size Chart (Kurta, Sherwani, Bandhgala)
Men's ethnic wear — kurtas, sherwanis, bandhgalas, and Nehru jackets — all key off chest, but lengths and layering differ. This unified chart covers men's ethnic sizing and shows how to present it on Shopify so festive menswear fits across the catalog.
Men's Ethnic Wear Size Chart (inches)
| Size | Chest | Waist | Shoulder |

| 38 (S) | 38 | 34 | 16.5 |
| 40 (M) | 40 | 36 | 17 |
| 42 (L) | 42 | 38 | 17.5 |

| 46 (XXL) | 46 | 42 | 18.5 |
Notes
Chest is the universal starting point. Across kurtas, sherwanis, and bandhgalas, chest sets the size. From there, garment length and layering ease differ — a sherwani runs long, a Nehru jacket adds layering room — so show length per garment type.
Bandhgalas fit like a structured jacket. A bandhgala (Jodhpuri) is tailored like a blazer, so it needs a truer chest and shoulder fit than a relaxed kurta. Note where a garment is structured vs relaxed so shoppers size accordingly.
Use per-product charts on Shopify. One men's ethnic catalog spans relaxed kurtas to structured bandhgalas. Per-product size charts and a fit recommender let each garment carry its own measurements and fit type.
FAQs
How is men's ethnic wear sized?
Primarily by chest (38–46), with waist and shoulder for structured pieces. Length and layering ease differ by garment — sherwanis run long, Nehru jackets add layering room — so check each product.
Does a bandhgala fit like a kurta?
No. A bandhgala (Jodhpuri) is tailored like a structured blazer, so it needs a truer chest and shoulder fit than a relaxed kurta. Size it closer to your jacket measurements.
How do I present men's ethnic sizing on Shopify?
