Sizes shown use JCPenney Thereabouts’ girls’/unisex chart where the brand splits by gender; boys’ sizes at the same number can run slightly taller.

In short

Where the number just works. At 3T, 6x, JCPenney Thereabouts lines up with every brand we track — the size carries straight over.

Where labels drift. The exceptions are the “strangers” above — e.g. at size 8, Il Gufo, Bonpoint, U.S. Polo Assn. cut the same number differently. Check those before you trust the label.

Bottom line: for most sizes, a JCPenney Thereabouts number is a safe bet elsewhere — measure once, then double-check only the handful of “stranger” brands above.
