How to measure

  • Waist: measure around the narrowest part of your natural waist, keeping the tape flat and snug but not tight. For low-rise styles, add about 1 inch.
  • Hip / seat: measure around the fullest part of your hips, keeping the tape level.
  • Thigh: measure around the top of your thigh, just below the crotch.
  • Inside leg: measure from the crotch seam down to your ankle (or the floor, without shoes, for a longer look).

Tip: the easiest way to find your size is to measure a pair of jeans that already fit you well. Stretch styles (511™, 512™, 502™, 510™) feel more forgiving, while the classic 501® is usually non-stretch denim – if you are between sizes in a 501®, go up a size. Still unsure?
