erikoiskokoja

Erikoiskokoja is a Finnish term meaning “special sizes.” It refers to size ranges for products—most commonly clothing and footwear—that fall outside a retailer’s standard assortment. The label signals that a product is not part of the regular size set and may require different production, inventory, or fitting considerations.

In practice, erikoiskokoja includes categories such as plus sizes, petite sizes, tall lengths, wide widths, or adaptive designs tailored to mobility, vision, or dexterity needs. The term is used in catalogs, shop signage, and product descriptions to communicate availability beyond the ordinary range. Some brands maintain dedicated sections for erikoiskokoja, while others offer custom or made-to-measure options with longer lead times.

Availability varies by market and brand; in many cases erikoiskokoja items exist as stock in certain stores or are produced on order. The concept reflects efforts toward inclusivity by acknowledging diverse body shapes and sizing requirements, even if not every retailer carries an extensive range.

Origin and usage: The word is a straightforward compounding of erikois- “special” and koko “size,” with the plural suffix -ja forming erikoiskokoja. It is widely understood in Finnish retail and fashion contexts and is comparable to terms in other languages that denote extended or non-standard sizing.
