H85 Bra Size, In Full
A Japanese H85 is a 85 cm band with a H cup: written cup-first, measured in 2.5 cm steps, and one letter ahead of the Western alphabet. In US terms this body wears a 38G.
H85 measurements
A Japanese H is not a Western H
Japanese cup labels start earlier and step in 2.5 cm increments, so each letter sits roughly one label ahead of its Western namesake: this H85 corresponds to a US 38G and EU 85G. Order your Japanese letter from a Western shop (or vice versa) and you’re a full cup off before the parcel ships. The converter translates in both directions.
Bands translate cleanly (same centimeters as EU labels); only the letters shift.
H85 sister sizes
Japanese sisters move in 5 cm band steps with one cup letter, same volume, different circumference. Useful when domestic stock stops one band short of yours.
What works at this size
At this depth Japanese domestic stock is genuinely scarce: this is specialist territory, and the practical route is international full-bust brands bought by conversion. The US/UK columns below are the sizes to shop.
H85: answered
What is Japanese H85 in US sizing?
US 38G (UK 38F). Japanese cup letters sit one label ahead of Western ones for the same body (a Japanese H corresponds to a Western G-tier cup) so carrying the letter across unconverted buys a cup too big.
What measurements is H85 for?
An underbust around 85 cm (roughly 82.5–87.5 cm) and a top bust near 112.5 cm: a difference of about 27.5 cm, which Japanese sizing labels H. Japan measures in 2.5 cm cup steps against Europe's 2 cm, so conversions are nearest-label, not exact.
Why is the cup letter written first in H85?
Japanese convention writes cup-then-band. C70, not 70C. Same information, reversed order; on tags in Japan you may also see the band alone (70) with the cup on a separate line.
HauteFlair labels cups in UK letters, so these links already convert your size by position (a US DDD lands on a UK E, a US G on a UK F). HauteFlair is owned by the same company as Brasize.ai; that relationship never changes the sizing math, charts, or fit advice on this page. How this site makes money.
