What size is (and isn’t) like Original Penguin Junior at other brands?

Find your child’s Original Penguin Junior size on the left. Twins wear the same number the same way — your size carries straight over. Strangers use the same number but cut it shorter or longer, so don’t trust the label alone.

In short

Where the number just works. At 3T, Original Penguin Junior 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, Garnet Hill, Old Navy cut the same number differently. Check those before you trust the label.

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

Should you buy Original Penguin Junior?
