How do jeans sizes work

Jeans sizes work in inches. The first number is the waist size, in this case size 40 which is equivalent to 101.6 cm. The second number is the length size, in this case 32 which is equivalent to 81.3 cm. Length size 36 is usually for tall men with an above average height from 1.95 meters.

How do you measure yourself

You can do this with a measuring tape circumference of your hips, waist and thighs. Don't forget to measure the length of your inner legs. Everything measured? Then consult the size chart for the correct size. Especially the circumference of your upper leg is important when buying a skinny-fit jeans or slim-fit jeans.

What are width sizes

You recognize the width size by the first number of the size combination. For a pair of jeans, this is 40/32. A width size is based on a waist size.

What are length sizes

You can easily measure your length size! Take a measuring tape and measure from your crotch to where you want the pant leg to sit. Eventually you can consult a size chart to ultimately determine your pants length.
