How to determine your perfect size
Jeans Measuring Guide
Find the ideal jeans – and fit – without trying them on! Follow this guide for hassle-free jean shopping. All you need is measuring tape, an old pair of jeans that fit just right, and a little know-how. For the most accurate figures, do not measure over clothing (wear intimates only).
waist
Bend to one side to find your natural crease. Measure this area keeping tape parallel to the floor and comfortable (not too tight).
hips
Stand with feet together and measure the fullest part of your hips and rear, keeping tape loose.

  • Mid (or Regular) – sits just below the navel
  • Low – sits 2-3” below the navel
  • inseam
    Lay your old jeans flat, choose a leg, and measure from crotch seam to hem.
