To ask if a product is available in a different size, the most natural polite questions are: “Do you have this in size [small/medium/large/number]?” and “Does this come in size [small/medium/large/number]?” Both are standard ways to check availability without sounding demanding.

These forms work whether the size is broad, like small or large, or specific, like 38, 8, or 42. In everyday shopping, they are especially useful for clothing, shoes, hats, belts, and other items where fit matters.

Common ways to ask

  • Do you have this in medium?
  • Does this come in a size 8?
  • Do you have this one in a larger size?
  • Is it available in another size?
  • Do you carry this in size 42?

The difference between “do you have” and “does this come in” is small. In practice, both are polite and clear. “Do you have this in…?” is slightly more direct and common in conversation. “Does this come in…?” sounds a little more like asking about the product itself.

How to ask when the exact size is unknown

When the exact size is not known, a useful strategy is to ask for the size range or a larger/smaller option:

  • Do you have this in a bigger size?
  • Do you have this in a smaller size?
  • What sizes do you have?
  • Do you have anything similar in my size?

These phrases are practical because store inventory is often organized by size labels, but the shopper may not know the label in advance. A quick question about the range can save time and avoid confusion.

Useful variations for shopping

Clothing

For shirts, jackets, trousers, and dresses, the simplest pattern is:

  • Do you have this in size M?
  • Does this come in extra large?
  • Do you have this in a 34?

Shoes

For footwear, size requests are often numerical:

  • Do you have these in size 40?
  • Do you have this shoe in a half size larger?
  • Does it come in size 9?

Online or catalogue-style shopping

When speaking with customer service, the same structure still works:

  • Is this available in another size?
  • Do you stock this in size 6?
  • Can I get this in a different size?

Polite additions that sound natural

A short polite opener makes the question sound smoother:

  • Excuse me, do you have this in medium?
  • Hi, does this come in a larger size?
  • Sorry, is this available in size 38?

In many languages, politeness in stores comes from the tone and the wording of the request, not from long sentences. A short, clear question is usually better than an overly complicated one.

Common mistakes

A frequent mistake is asking in a way that sounds too vague or grammatically awkward, such as:

  • Have you this in medium?
  • Is this have in size 8?

Another common error is mixing up size and color structures. A question about size should stay focused on fit or measurement, not availability in general.

It also helps to avoid assuming that a store definitely has the item in stock. Phrases like “Do you have…” and “Is this available in…” keep the request open and polite.

If the product is almost right

Sometimes the item is close to what is needed, but not exact. In that case, these phrases are especially useful:

  • Do you have this in one size up?
  • Do you have this in one size down?
  • Is there a larger version of this?
  • Can I try the next size up?

These expressions are common in fitting rooms and shoe stores, where size changes can make the difference between usable and unusable.

Example dialogue

  • Excuse me, do you have this in medium?
  • Let me check. We have it in medium and large.
  • Great, can I try the medium?

This kind of exchange is short, practical, and easy to reuse. In live conversation, active practice with real product names, numbers, and size words helps these patterns become automatic faster than passive study alone. 2

Quick reference

  • Do you have this in size 8?
  • Does this come in medium?
  • Is this available in a larger size?
  • Do you carry this in my size?

For shopping in another language, the most important part is usually the structure: request + item + size. Once that pattern is familiar, it becomes easy to substitute the product, size, or measurement as needed.
