Measuring and Ordering Custom Jeans

To add a pair of custom jeans:

1. Go to Add Item in the cart and choose Jeans. 

2. Build your design.

3. Add measurements (see below).

When ordering jeans without try-ons, follow these steps to ensure proper fit:

1. Select Cut

Choose the cut first—this sets allowances for seat, thigh, and knee. Always keep the customer’s proportions and overall look in mind.

2. Length (Left/Right)

- Measure from top of side waistband along outseam to desired end.

- Jeans are worn longer than trousers—add 0.5"–1" (more if rolled hems are preferred).

3. Seat

- Measure the fullest part of the seat, keeping the tape level.

- The cut adds allowance automatically.

- Go tighter than trousers: subtract ~0.5" from thigh measurement.

4. Waist

- Measure where the jeans will sit.

- Jeans stretch—subtract ~0.5" from trouser waist.

5. Rise (U-Rise, Front, Back)

- This is different than normal trousers; you have to input a front and back rise.

- Measure from front waistband, between legs, to back waistband.

- Regular ratio = 40% front / 60% back. Adjust for low or high waist.

6. Thigh

- Measure fullest part of thigh.

- Subtract ~1" from trouser thigh measurement.

- Allowance varies by fabric and fit preference.

7. Knee

- Measure calf circumference, then add +1.5".

- Ensure final knee width can clear thigh just above the knee.

8. Bottom Opening

- Modern jeans: 12–14" opening.

- Go wider for traditional styles or heavier builds.

** Note: Grey fields in the order form are optional, not required.
