Rise is the measurement from the top of the waistband down to the crotch seam. A jean has a front and a back rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"540\" height=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/toddshelton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2022_1007_high_rise_jeans4.jpg\" alt=\"High front rise jeans for men\" class=\"wp-image-8541\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Higher front rise adds height at the waist and additional room at the crotch.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Front rise indicates whether a jean is low-rise, mid-rise, or high-rise. As a general reference: low-rise approximately 10&#8243;, mid-rise approximately 11&#8243;, high rise approximately 12&#8243;. Actual measurements vary by brand, size, and fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-10-brands-making-high-rise-jeans-for-men\">10 brands making high rise jeans for men<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Certainly more than ten brands manufacture jeans with a high rise, but most do not publish the measurements. Without published specifications, a brand cannot be verified for inclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brands on this list skew toward smaller, more expensive makers. Smaller brands tend to publish more detailed data because their customers demand it and their leadership prioritizes it. Heritage and reproduction denim brands are heavily represented for the same reason, classic jean fits were originally designed with higher rises, and those labels preserve the historical measurements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We researched over 40 brands to compile this data. The baseline threshold for this list is a published front rise of 11 1\/2 inches or greater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure id=\"american-made-womens-clothing-brands\" class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Brand<\/th><th>Front Rise<\/th><th>Price<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/freenotecloth.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Freenote<\/a> <\/td><td>13&#8243; (three high-rise fits)<\/td><td>$325<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.3sixteen.com\/collections\/denim\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">3sixteen<\/a> <\/td><td>13&#8243; (Relaxed RS fit)<\/td><td>$290<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.levi.com\/US\/en_US\/levis-vintage-clothing\/c\/levi_clothing_vintage_clothing_us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Levi&#8217;s Vintage Clothing<\/a> <\/td><td>12 3\/4&#8243; (reproductions)<\/td><td>$295<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gap.com\/browse\/men\/jeans?cid=6998\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Gap<\/a> <\/td><td>12 3\/4&#8243; (Relaxed Straight fit)<\/td><td>$79<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/toddshelton.com\/jeans\/original-13-selvedge-dark-wash\/f\/high-rise\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Todd Shelton<\/a> <\/td><td>12 1\/2&#8243; (four high rise fits)<\/td><td>$300<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.selfedge.com\/jeans\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Self Edge<\/a><\/td><td>12 1\/2&#8243; (multiple brands)<\/td><td>$370<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.buckmason.com\/collections\/mens-jeans\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Buck Mason<\/a><\/td><td>12 1\/2&#8243; (Full Saddle fit)<\/td><td>$228<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.toddsnyder.com\/collections\/denim-shop\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Todd Snyder<\/a><\/td><td>12&#8243; (Relaxed fit)<\/td><td>$198<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wrangler.com\/shop\/men-featured-collections-cowboy-cut\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Wrangler<\/a> <\/td><td>11 7\/8&#8243; (13mwz cowboy)<\/td><td>$69<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/34heritage.com\/collections\/high-waisted-jeans-for-men\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">34 Heritage<\/a> <\/td><td>11 1\/2&#8243; (Charisma fit)<\/td><td>$215<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"image-text-card\">\n  <div class=\"image-text-card__image\">\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/toddshelton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2026-todd-shelton-1.jpg\" alt=\"Example Image\" \/>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"image-text-card__content\">\n    <div class=\"image-text-card__title\">Todd Shelton<\/div>\n    <div clas=\"image-text-card__text\"><p>Todd Shelton specializes in fit options and measurement consistency.

A higher back rise may reduce the waistband from pulling down when sitting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two signs you need more rise: you cannot pull the jeans up high enough on your waist, or the crotch is tight when you do. Too much rise and the jean will sag under the crotch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bone structure and body composition determine where a jean sits. A fuller seat consumes more rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>100% cotton denim provides a stable rise measurement. The back rise seam undergoes more stress than any other seam on a jean. During wear, the back rise will stretch one inch or more, even on all-cotton jeans. This stretch is temporary and the rise reverts to its original measurements after laundering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-determine-your-target-rise-measurement\">How to determine your target rise measurement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Measure the rise on jeans you already own. Try on a few pairs to find which fits best through the rise, then measure it. Use that number as your starting point and estimate how much more rise you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"540\" height=\"390\" src=\"https:\/\/toddshelton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2022_1007_high_rise_jeans6.jpg\" alt=\"How to measure high rise jeans for men\" class=\"wp-image-8545\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Measure jeans you already own to find your target rise measurement<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if your best fitting jean has an 11&#8243; rise but it&#8217;s slightly tight in the crotch, you may need an 11 1\/2&#8243; rise. If it&#8217;s way too tight, you may need a 12&#8243; rise or higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"charts\">Finding rise measurements in size charts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Few jean brands publish rise measurements in their size charts. When they do, measurements vary by fit and waist size. Relaxed fits generally have higher rise than slim fits. Rise typically increases as waist size increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some brands will not publish rise measurements in their size chart, but will reference a rise measurement for one size and fit. Levi&#8217;s does this for size 32. As a general rule, rise increases approximately 1\/8\u2033 per waist size. If a brand publishes a 11\u2033 rise for a 32 waist, a 34 waist may be 11 1\/4\u2033.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"540\" height=\"352\" src=\"https:\/\/toddshelton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2022_1007_high_rise_jeans7.jpg\" alt=\"Size charts displaying jean rise measurements\" class=\"wp-image-8546\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Todd Shelton size chart<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/toddshelton.com\/jeans\/high-rise\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Todd Shelton<\/a> scales rise by 1\/8\u2033 per waist size. A size 32 Basic fit has an 11 1\/2\u2033 high front rise. Size 33 Basic has an 11 5\/8\u2033. A size 32 Relaxed fit has a 12\u2033 high front rise. Rise changes by both size and fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need measurements for your specific size, contact the brand directly.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"photo-text\">\n<div class=\"photo\">\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9763 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/toddshelton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/todd-shelton-2026-0224-about-mobile2-3.jpg\" alt=\"Todd Shelton: A Wardrobe Built for Consistency\" width=\"1391\" height=\"1720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/toddshelton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/todd-shelton-2026-0224-about-mobile2-3.jpg 1391w, https:\/\/toddshelton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/todd-shelton-2026-0224-about-mobile2-3-485x600.jpg 485w, https:\/\/toddshelton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/todd-shelton-2026-0224-about-mobile2-3-828x1024.jpg 828w, https:\/\/toddshelton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/todd-shelton-2026-0224-about-mobile2-3-768x950.jpg 768w, https:\/\/toddshelton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/todd-shelton-2026-0224-about-mobile2-3-1242x1536.jpg 1242w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1391px) 100vw, 1391px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text font-body2\">\n<h2 class=\"font-h3\">About the publisher<\/h2>\nTodd Shelton is an American apparel manufacturer.
