Jeans size guide
Finding jeans that actually fit is the difference between a pair you wear constantly and a pair you never touch. This guide explains how our jeans sizes work and how to measure yourself.
How to read our jeans sizes
Our jeans are sized as two values, for example S/30.
- The letter is your waist and hip size, the same letter you would take in the rest of our range.
- The number is the leg length, measured as the inside leg in inches.
So S/30 is a small waist and hip with a 30 inch inside leg. That means you can pick your waist and your length independently instead of compromising on one of them.
Leg lengths
| Length | Inside leg | Suits roughly |
|---|---|---|
| 28 | about 71 cm | up to about 1.60 m |
| 30 | about 76 cm | about 1.60 to 1.68 m |
| 32 | about 81 cm | about 1.68 to 1.75 m |
| 34 | about 86 cm | about 1.75 to 1.82 m |
| 36 | about 91 cm | from about 1.82 m |
Height guidance is a starting point only — leg length varies a lot between people of the same height, so measuring is always more reliable.
Letter sizes
| Letter | EU size |
|---|---|
| XS | 34 |
| S | 36 |
| M | 38 |
| L | 40 |
| XL | 42 |
| XXL | 44 |
| XXXL | 46 |
How to measure
Waist — measure right round the narrowest part of your middle, keeping the tape level and not pulled tight.
Hips — measure round the widest part of your hips and seat.
Inside leg — measure from your crotch straight down to your ankle bone. Easiest done in bare feet with help, or by measuring a pair of jeans that already fit you well: lay them flat and measure the inner seam from crotch to hem.
Petite and Tall
Some styles also come in dedicated Petite and Tall cuts, where the rise and knee position are adjusted too, not just the hem. If you are consistently at either end of the length range, these will fit better than shortening a regular pair.
Between two sizes?
For stiffer, rigid denim, size up. For stretch denim, take the smaller size, as it gives with wear. Check the product page for the fabric and for any note about a style fitting differently.
