Jeans size chart

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.

We offer four fits for the area below the waistband down to the lower thigh, with each fit varying by 2 inch around the seat and 1 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 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 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.

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.

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.
