Pants & Trousers Size Guide
Pants & Trousers Size Guide
Pants are sized by waist and inseam measurements. Use a soft measuring tape for the most accurate results.
Brands like J.Braxx and Bertini are sold unfinished (unhemmed), so we can cut and finish them to any inseam length you need — no standard sizing required. Just let us know your exact inseam measurement at checkout or contact us before ordering and we'll take care of the rest.
How to Measure
- Waist: Measure around your natural waistline (where you normally wear your pants), keeping the tape snug but not tight.
- Inseam: Measure from the crotch seam down to the bottom of your ankle. It helps to measure a pair of pants that fits you well.
- Outseam: Measure from the top of the waistband down the outside of the leg to approximately ½–1" above the floor. This gives you the total outside leg length and is helpful for determining your finished length.
- Hip/Seat: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat, about 7–8" below your waistline.
- Rise: Measure from the crotch seam up to the top of the waistband.
