High rise jeans for men

100% cotton denim provides a stable rise measurement. The back rise undergoes more stress than any other seam during wear and will stretch one inch or more. This stretch is temporary. The rise returns to its original measurement after washing and drying.

Stretch denim expands faster, particularly in the back rise, and less predictably.

Most brands offer one rise option. A second rise requires separate patterns, grading, and fit testing for every size in the collection. The economics favor a single standard.

Todd Shelton makes jeans in its own factory. High rise is available across the entire collection in all inseams and four thigh fits, cut and graded individually.

Measure the rise on jeans you already own. Lay them on a flat, rigid surface. Smooth out the fabric. Place a measuring tape at the top of the waistband and extend it to the crotch seam.

If the rise on your best fitting jean is slightly tight in the crotch, add ½ inch. If it is significantly tight, add 1 inch or more. Use that number as your target.

Rise measurements for every fit and size are in the Todd Shelton size chart.
