At that age, they are often the same. A three yr old will wear a size 3, etc. Kids used to be skinnier. If the child was overweight, it went into "chubby" sizes, or 6 and 6x, for example.

Repeatedly in the article refers to boys wear 3-7. The article doesn't state if this is ages or sizes. Below is a little from the article: "For more years than they like to remember, the bane of the existence of 3-7 makers was price. It reached a certain point.and then stayed there. Then along came the family revolution in men's wear.and the boys' wear people jumped right into the fray. Even 3-7 houses, in their own separate world, couldn't stand idly by." What do you think? Age or size?
