Sizes: waist, leg, chest and hip

Mavi’s size guide gives four charts. Men’s jeans are named by two numbers, as in «31 / 32»: the first is the waist (bel), the second the inner leg, both in inches. The charts give the centimetres.

Measure the body

The charts say: chest (göğüs) with the arms hanging at your sides, at the widest point; waist (bel) at the natural waist, holding the tape a little loose; hip (basen) with the feet together, at the widest part.

Leg length (boy)

On trousers it is not your height: it runs from the waist down to where the ankle starts.

A general standard

Mavi says the charts are a general standard to help you choose: in a narrow-cut (dar kesim) pair the values can change.

TR and UK

A size number in the TR chart and the same number in the UK chart can differ.

Letters for women

XS is 36, S 38, M 40, L 42 and XL 44 (TR numbers). Mavi size guide, checked 25.10.2026

Paying and delivery: cards, cash and carriers

mavi.com takes four kinds of payment: a credit card, cash on delivery, bank transfer (havale/EFT) and alternative payment methods.

Credit card

Any domestic bank’s credit card works for a single payment (peşin, paid at once). Instalments (taksit) are offered on the product page or after you enter the card. With «peşin fiyatına taksit» (cash price in instalments) there is no vade farkı, the interest added for paying later. How taksit works: Credit Cards in Turkey: Limits, Taksit and Interest Rates

Cash on delivery

Kapıda ödeme: up to 1,600 TL, cash or card. A service fee of 14.99 TL comes on top of the shipping, and it is not refunded if you return the order. Aras Kargo delivers these orders.

Bank transfer

You pay into one of Mavi’s bank accounts within 3 business days, or the order is cancelled. Send the receipt (dekont) with the order number. Kartuş points cannot be used on a transfer order. Mavi FAQ, checked 25.10.2026
