29 inch inseam jeans for men

Todd Shelton makes all-cotton jeans in a 29 inch inseam. Men 5'9" to 5'10" typically wear a 29 inch inseam. Waist sizes 28–40, four thigh fits, and standard and high rise. Made in USA.

29 inch inseam is as important as 30

For the average American man at 5'9", a 29 inch inseam is a sweet spot that only a few brands offer. Most brands offer 30 inch inseams. A man who needs 29 is forced to hem or compromise on fit. 29 inch inseam accounts for 13% of customer orders at Todd Shelton and is always available.

Avoid being forced to hem one inch to 29

Hemming a 30 inch inseam to 29 changes the original construction. One inch is enough to alter the silhouette. Two trips to the tailor. Thread color and weight rarely match. The jean looks hemmed. Todd Shelton makes 29 inch inseams in its own factory. They ship with the original factory hem.

How to measure your inseam at home

An accurate inseam measurement starts with a pair of jeans you already own. Lay them on a flat, rigid surface. Smooth out the fabric and keep the outseam straight. Place a measuring tape at the middle of the crotch seam, where the two legs meet. Extend the tape to the bottom hem.

Todd Shelton inseams are measured before shipping with a tolerance of ¼ inch. A 29 inch inseam ships between 28¾ and 29¼ inches. All-cotton denim shrinks up to ½ inch after several launderings. If your measurement falls between 29 and 30 inches, order 29. A 29 inch inseam that shrinks ½ inch lands at 28.5 — a clean line with no break and no stack.
