Follow these easy jean measuring steps to determine what size jean to order online. For best results, measure your best fitting jean.

Waist

1By Todd SheltonFounder of Todd Shelton, a men's clothing brand and factory

To gauge your waist measurement, button the jean, lay it on a flat surface and remove any slack across the waistband by tugging both sides. Then measure across from the left midpoint of the waistband to the right midpoint. Measuring twice will produce better results. Start over by picking up the jean and repeating the above steps.

With your waist size determined, now match it to a seat circumference in the corresponding rows below.

Seat

Seat Circumference Main
Seat circumference can be evaluated as follows: measure 3 inches straight above the crotch seam (see arrow location of crotch seam in illustration); mark visually the 3-inch point; at the 3-inch visual mark, measure across the jean side to side. Remember, it is important to ensure the jean is flat and all folds are smoothed out (visible or hidden).
