UK Size Changes
Why has your UK sizing changed?
Previously, our EU to UK size conversion was not aligned with other UK retailers. We have recently reviewed this and decided to update our size conversion. Please note that the size and fit of our products will remain the same and EU sizes won’t change.
Why did I used to be a COS UK size 10 and now I am a COS UK size 8?
Our previous UK sizes were not in line with other UK retailers, we have reviewed and changed this – the name has changed but the measurements and fit remain the same.If you have always purchased a size EU 38 for example, please continue to do so.
Your sizes have changed; do I need to change the size I normally buy?
Your EU size will remain the same, the conversion to COS UK size has changed. The size and fit of our products will remain the same.
During the transition period [w.47 2023 – w.15 2024], we will sell garments labelled with either old or new sizing. You might receive an item labelled with a different size than the one you ordered, but the measurements will match the size you requested. For specific measurements check out our new size guide on cos.com.
How long is the transition period?
End of November to April, however we might see products with the old size conversion re-appearing in sale.
Why have you stopped stocking UK size 18 and introduced UK size 4?
The size and cut of our physical products has not changed. EU sizes remain the same, while their conversion to UK sizes has changed to align with other UK retailers. If you have shopped with us previously as a UK size 18, this is now converted to a UK 16. If you have shopped with us previously as a UK size 6 (mostly available online only), this is now converted to UK 4 (mostly available online only). We are reviewing our size offering to ensure it’s as inclusive as possible.
If I buy a size 44 online can I return it in store?
Yes, you can return any purchases made online to any of our stores for a full refund.
If I was a UK size 6, should I now be buying a UK size 4?
The easiest way to decide is to look at the European size that you were buying and then choose the UK size linked to that. But yes, if you used to buy a UK size 6 that would be a EU size 32, which will be translated into a UK size 4 from season 9.
Garment care – WASHING INSTRUCTIONS:
Paying some extra attention to how you wash your clothes will not only prolong their life, but also help minimize the environmental impact and save our natural resources. The washing instructions on the label will give you advise on how to best care for your garment, and here are some other resourceful advices.
Chunky-knits
Chunky-knits should be reshaped and dried flat to maintain the original shape, which is why these garments are additionally labelled “Dry flat”.
Linen
Linen is a natural material and can easily get misshapen when wet. To restore the garment to its original shape, iron it with a hot steam iron. To keep its sheen, iron the garment on the reverse side.
Viscose
Viscose is an artificial fibre from cellulose and can easily get misshapen when wet. To restore the garment easily to its original shape, iron it with a steam iron.
Silk
Silk is a very delicate material and should be treated with care. Use a detergent for delicates when washing silk and do not stretch the garment while wet.
Wool
Often, airing woollen garments is enough. Use a detergent for delicates when you do wash them. Use the wool or hand wash cycle on your washing machine or wash by hand. Iron after washing to restore the natural sheen.
Denim
Wash jeans inside out to reduce fade. Remove them from the washing machine as soon as possible after the programme has ended to avoid creasing. Denim’s characteristic appearance is the result of a special dyeing method. Thus, small pigment particles may remain on the surface and can rub off.
Leather and suede
Leather and suede garments should be taken to a leather specialist for cleaning. Follow the care instructions.
Shoe polish and/or waterproofing spray should be applied to leather shoes and bags. This simple measure will improve their protection against water, extending the life of your shoes/bag and making them more capable of withstanding dirt.
Just use waterproofing spray for suede and nubuck, not polish. Try not to wear your suede/nubuck shoes or carry your suede/nubuck bag if it is raining or very damp out, because this could cause staining on the product and the dye in the product could rub off onto your belongings more easily. Insert shoe trees to keep your shoes in shape, and use a shoe horn to protect the high backs/heels of your shoes when you put them on. Undo your laces and buckles when taking your shoes off and putting them on.
Down jackets
Place tennis balls in the tumble dryer when drying down garments to distribute the down evenly. The down must be dried completely.
Rainwear
Rainwear should drip-dry. If you dry them in a drying cabinet, do so at a low temperature. Follow the care instructions.
Details
Take off removable details and do up Velcro and zip fastenings before washing. Wash nylon tights and delicate garments with details in a laundry bag.
Garment care – CONSCIOUS WASHING:
Washing, drying and ironing your clothes accounts for 36% of the total environmental impact of the average garment during its lifetime! This can be more than halved if we make smarter choices. You can help the planet and your wardrobe by washing your clothes less frequently, reducing the washing temperature, ironing less and avoiding tumble-drying.
Choosing smart care methods can help you to extend the life of your wardrobe favourites while also reducing your environmental impact, and your clothes will be just as clean.
Don’t wash clothes unnecessarily
Don’t wash clothes that are not dirty. Often, airing and brushing clothes is enough.
Lower the washing temperature
COS always labels its garments with the highest permitted temperature. But you can select a lower washing temperature to save energy. Most detergents wash just as well at lower temperatures. Washing at 40°C uses around half as much energy as washing at 60°C. COS recommends that heavily soiled clothes and underwear are always washed at the highest temperature allowed. Do not wash your clothes at temperatures hotter than those stated in the care instructions.
Fill your washing machine
Sort the clothes by colour and washing temperature. Fill up your washing machine, but don’t stuff too much in. A washing machine is full when you can place a clenched fist on top of the washing without compressing the clothes. Use an energy saving programme – most modern washing machines have one.
Choose an eco-friendly laundry detergent
Use an environmentally friendly detergent that is free from optical whiteners and phosphates, since these have a negative environmental impact when released into nature. Dose the detergent as stated on the packaging. Overdosing detergent will not make your clothes cleaner. To get the dose right, you need to know whether you have hard or soft water. Avoid fabric conditioners, although COS recommends that acrylic garments are washed with fabric conditioner to counter static electricity in the garment after washing.
Avoid dry cleaning
Dry cleaning is a process in which the clothes are cleaned using an organic solvent. Dry cleaning has a negative environmental impact when the solvent is released into nature. A small proportion of COS’s garments are dry clean only, because they contain details or materials than could change colour or become misshapen by washing at home. Today, there are also greener methods of dry cleaning that clean the clothes using only carbon dioxide reclaimed from industry. This type of dry cleaning therefore does not release chemicals.
Leave your washing out to dry
It is preferable to leave your washing out to dry since tumble drying and drying cabinets use a lot of energy. To reduce drying time, gentle cycle the clothes well before taking them out of the washing machine.
Give away your clothes!
When you no longer have a use for clothes, give them to an organisation that can extend the garment’s life.
