In Australia, 4XL generally translates to very large sizes, with measurements varying by brand but typically fitting a chest/bust around 120-135cm for men and a bust around 122-127cm for women, often corresponding to numeric sizes like 24 or 26, focusing on significant width and length for both men's and women's plus-size apparel, so always check the specific brand's size chart.
The Difference Between 4X and 4XL
Typically, a "4X" size is designed for the "big" customer, focusing primarily on providing more width around the torso. A "4XL," on the other hand, is intended for the "big and tall" customer.
For example, at Undersummers: XXL may fit someone who wears size 18-20 in straight sizes. 2X is specifically tailored for plus-size bodies, often accommodating measurements for sizes 20-22 or even larger, depending on the garment.

No, US and AU sizes are not always the same, especially for men's shoes and clothing, but women's shoe sizes are often identical; for clothing, AU (XS, S, M, L) tends to be a size smaller in the US system (XXS, XS, S, M) or align with UK/EU sizes, so always check the brand's specific size chart.
4XL works for men with a 54–56 inch chest or a 52–54 inch waist. Think larger frames or anyone who wants extra room through the chest and midsection without sacrificing length.
3x is a big and tall cut vs xxl being a standard cut for men's sizes. The 3x is typically only slightly larger in the chest and waist area. This was the answer I recieved from Columbia customer care last year when I looked into it myself. Personally I have both in xl and 1x and the difference is not very noticeable.
Large (L): Fits waist sizes from 32-34 inches. Extra Large (XL): Fits waist sizes from 34-36 inches. XXL and above: Each step up typically adds 2 inches to the waist measurement range.
