Designed to fit at low ankle. Use this guide as a reference only, factor in what you know about leg length.
Rise
Jeans have a front rise and a back rise. Rise is measured from the top of the waistband down to the crotch seam. Rise controls where the pant sits on your waist or hips. A proper fitting rise can minimize ‘saggy crotch’ and/or ‘plumbers crack’.
Standard Rise is our most popular rise. Unless you knowingly have rise issues, we recommend starting with Standard Rise. Once you receive a jean, you can better gauge your rise requirements. Then, if you believe you need a different rise, we can exchange.
Measure a jean (you currently own) with a front and back rise that fits well. Consider the adjustments you’d like to see, then compare with the measurements on our rise chart.

Lower Block
Standard Lower Block is most popular and we recommend it as a starting point for all new customers. Once you receive a jean, you can better gauge your Lower Block requirements.
Measure a jean (you currently own) that fits well through the knee and ankle, consider the adjustments you’d like to see, then compare with our sizing charts. You can find measurements for knee and ankle on our size charts.
Use Upper Block to increase or decrease the roominess around your seat and thighs.
Basic is similar to a ‘Regular Fit’ and is our most popular fit. Relaxed is similar to ‘Relaxed Fit’ with other brands; good for guys with muscular thighs. Lean is the least popular of these fits, but it works well for guys who always find ‘Regular Fit’ jeans have too much excess fabric in the seat.
Below we show three Upper Block fits on the same guy. He’s wearing a 32 waist. These photos are for reference only, the same Upper Block will look different on you, depending on your seat and thigh size. You can find measurements for seat and thigh on our size charts.

How new customers access custom fit options
We ask all new customers to get a better understanding of how our product fits before customizing. This process reduces returns and exchanges on customized products and keeps our return policy generous.
You can either start with Home try-on or order In stock, then exchange for custom fit options:
• Home try-on is good for customers who want to work on the details of their fit.
• In stock is good for customers who have more conventional fit requirements.
Frequently asked questions
I’m confident in the custom fit options I need, can I start with a custom order?
No, we’ve learned new customers get better results when they start with Home try-on or In stock.
Can I order multiple In stock products and return the ones that don't fit?
No, if you want to try on multiple sizes, please start with Home try-on.
How does Order for returning customers work?
If you have ever ordered from us, you can use Order for returning customers.
Order for returning customers is designed to be an easy reordering method for existing customers.
When we receive your order, we review your fit history, read your comments, and email you a list of fit options for your new order. Expect to receive the email in 1-2 days. You can confirm or make changes.
Frequently asked questions
Can I return or exchange Order for returning customers if it doesn't fit?

Yes. We locate your account using a combination of name, email, and address (even if your email and address have changed). We can look back over 10 years.
My size has changed since my last order, can I use Order for returning customers?
Yes. Leave comments and we’ll discuss the necessary changes after we receive your order.

How does Order for returning customers work?
Ordering from a new brand comes with questions about size and fit. Order for returning customers puts you in contact with our team, and together we select fit options for your initial order.
Answer questions about your fit, then complete your order. We look at your fit requirements, read your comments, and email you the fit options that we think you should start with. You can confirm or make changes.

Waist
Your jean's waist size is the most important factor in determining your fit. Our waist sizes are based on industry standards, adding 1.5 inches to the labeled size. For instance, a 34 waist will measure 35.5 inches.
However, some brands may use vanity sizing, where the actual waist size is significantly larger than the labeled size. If you suspect your current brand uses vanity sizing, consider choosing one size larger when ordering Todd Shelton.
To ensure a better fit, choose a waist size that is comfortably snug at first. As you wear them, the fabric will naturally stretch, but it will return to its original size after washing. This prevents the jeans from becoming too loose between washes.
How to measure waist
Lay your jeans on a flat, rigid surface, such as a table. Pull the outside edges of the waistband outwards to remove any slack. Measure across the center of the waistband. Make sure that the edges of your measurement do not exceed the outside edges of the waistband.
Fit
We offer seven fits for the area below the waistband down to the lower thigh, with each fit varying by 1 inch around the seat and 1/2 inch around the thighs. This range of options lets you tweak your fit to your body type and fit preferences.
How to measure seat and thigh
Lay your jeans on a flat, rigid surface, such as a table. Smooth the jeans flat, pulling out any excess fabric that may be folded underneath. To measure the seat, measure across the jean, 3 inches above the crotch seam. To measure the thigh, measure from crotch point to outside edge of jean (like shown above).
Rise
Rise is an important factor in determining how high or low jeans sit on your waist, influencing your overall comfort and fit. We offer a range of five rise options to accommodate various body types and preferences.
Typically, jeans will naturally rest on your waist or hips, depending on your body composition. If your rise is too low, the jeans won't sit high enough on your waist, causing tightness in the crotch area. Conversely, if your rise is too long, you may experience excess fabric gathering under your crotch.
How to measure rise
Lay your jeans on a flat, rigid surface. Place your measuring tape at the top of the waistband, in the center of the front of the jeans. Measure down to the crotch seam, where the two legs of the jeans meet.
Knee
Knee and ankle are two separate fit points. Most customers choose the same fit for both, but some may need different fits for each. For example, customers with larger calves may prefer a straight knee fit and a standard ankle fit. The wider knee provides extra room down to the calf.
How to measure knee
Measure knee 14″ below the crotch seam, across knee.
Ankle
We offer four ankle widths, each separated by 1/2 inch. This range of options ensures you'll find the right fit to accommodate your footwear and personal style.
How to measure ankle
Ankle measurements are the same for all inseam lengths. For example, a 7" ankle measurement will be the same for a 26" inseam jean and a 36" inseam jean. Ankle measurement should be taken just above the bottom hem to avoid including the bulk of the hem in the measurement.
Length
We offer jean lengths in half-inch increments from 25 to 38 inches.
How to measure length
Lay your jeans on a flat, rigid surface, such as a table. Smooth out the jeans and keep the outseam straight. Place your measuring tape at the middle of the crotch seam, where the two legs of the jeans meet. Extend the measuring tape down to the bottom hem of the jeans.

Product line changes
Streamlining our focus
As Todd Shelton continues to evolve, we're excited to announce a streamlined product line focused on jeans, shirts, and t-shirts.
By mastering jeans, shirts, and t-shirts – we can become the world's leading factory of these foundational American menswear classics. This focus will allow us to refine our expertise, optimize production processes, and consistently deliver exceptional quality.
What is being discontinued and why?
To streamline our product offering and optimize factory efficiency, we're discontinuing khakis, shorts, sweatshirts, and select t-shirt styles (henleys and v-necks). However, henleys may return for limited annual releases.
For a limited time, shop discontinued items at discounted prices
Khakis, shorts, and sweatshirts will remain available for purchase until July 31, 2024, while supplies last.
