    small would be somewhere arround a size 8 to 10.

    Well I'm not sure about normal clothing but I know that small mens rugby jerseys are more than big enough for me & I'm usually a size 12. Rugby shirts tend to have big sizing though, so I'd say it'd be around size 14.

    I think a mans S is about the same as ladies L or 14-16

    I have 2 mens tshirts size L which arent tight fitting and im a womans XL

    Womens sizes vary a lot between stores but a rough mens size guide is
    approx S= 35-37 in
    M= 38-40 in
    L= 41-43 in

    Hope this helps...

    Not a hope, mens small is closer to a ladies medium. ie 10-12 or so

    There's no way a men's small would be anywhere near an 8. I'd say more like a 12. But of course it depends on what exactly you're talking about. T Shirt, shorts, etc
