Understanding our Watts and Plainview jean fit options
February 11th, 2010 in JeansWe offer two classic jean fits: a Standard Straight-Leg and a Generous Straight-Leg, both equally popular. The Watts is our standard straight-leg, for your best reference the fit is similar to the Levi’s 501.
Our generous straight-leg is the Plainview. It’s a slightly roomier version of our standard Watts, designed for guys that prefer room for comfort. Although generous throughout, it is by no means an oversized jean.
Both jean fits are similar in appearance, as you can see their proportions were kept consistent. Although the differences may seem slight, both fits are necessary to ensure our customer gets their desired fit.
Compare the fit points in the image above. 1. Hip circumference / 2. Crotch (rise) / 3. Knee circumference / 4. Bottom Opening. Each point shows the Plainview will offer slightly more room than the Watts.
Choosing the right jean fit for you
Selecting the best Todd Shelton jean fit may be as simple as deciding, “Do I like my jeans to be a little roomy or do I like a trimmer fitting jean?” For guys that have full legs or just prefer more room for comfort, we recommend our Plainview. For guys with leaner legs, we’d start with our Watts. Beyond leg size, it becomes a style decision.
