FIND YOUR FIT

Note: If you scroll down past the fit guide, there are links to the different styles and how they fit!

Grab a favorite pair of 100% cotton jeans and make sure they’ve been washed & dried (not worn since).

This is a pair of which you like the fit - and hope to find a similar fit.

Remember, length can be adjusted, so numbers 1-4 are the most important!

I will show waist, rise and inseam (1,2 & 3) on a white slip on the feature picture of each pair I stock, but PLEASE make sure you look through the photographs in the listing at measurements 4-5 to ensure that they will fit your bum/hips/thighs. This is where many go wrong, ignoring the hips/thigh measurements in my listings & solely going off the waist measurement. Some styles (505 & 517 & a few others) run more narrow in these areas and that will also be stated in each individual listing.

This guide will give you your “flat lay measurements”. Write them down or keep them in your phone’s notes.

When you go to shop by size, you’ll double the flat lay waist to know what section to look in.
(examples: measurement #1 is a 14” waist, then that would fall under section 28-29 - and I’d call that an “actual 28”. 14.5” would be an “actual 29”.)
I always round down, so 14.25” would be what I call an “actual 28”.

**Why is it so important to follow carefully, because all sales are final and I want you to be happy.**

*Tiny print: I did not create this method. This method of measuring has been around for years. It works when done correctly & consistently. Cheers.
