Finding the right size of jeans can seem a little daunting, but with this guide, we show you the essential steps to getting it right first time.

A few weeks ago we discussed fit. So, just to be really clear here. Size and fit are two entirely different things.

If you are still unsure, check out the vlog from a couple of weeks and all will become clear.

Your best best best way to get jeans is a bricks and mortar store. A good jeans store will have a plethora of brands to choose from in a variety of different fits. Don't be afraid to try on multiple pairs and in different sizes, just to compare and contrast. And also be open-minded.

Sadly the reality is that we are not all so lucky that we have a store around us that has a great selection of denim. Or maybe you have your heart set on that collab jean only sold in Blue n Green in New York but you live on the moon. Well, that's why God invented mail order.

This is where you have to take a little time to find your perfect size.

Whatever you do. Do Not Go On the tagged waist measurements.

And this is where you have to take a little time to find your perfect size.

Whatever you do. Do Not Go Off the waist measurements! You need to get your measuring tape out. Go off and find a pair of jeans you already have that fit you well. This is your starting point.

Now, go off and bring up the website where your dream jeans are sold.
A Measuring Guide is Essential!
If they are at all worth their salt, you will find an in-depth guide on just how they measure their jeans. If they don't, I would really recommend not buying from them.

The trouble is. There is more than one way to skin a cat... Which has nothing to do with jeans but there is also more than one way to measure jeans so it is important you look at the measuring guide of the shop you’ll be buying your jeans from.

For example. Say I wanted the 3Sixteen 32BSP Shadow Selvedge Straight Taper. The jeans stores in Berlin don't carry this particular model so I head over to Self Edge’s webstore. Where I bring up the Jeans Finder.

Self Edge has an awesome infographic showing how they measure their jeans. Study it and measure your existing jeans in the same way.

You will have a list of sizes you can compare with the size chart for your specific jeans.

Here’s a brief rundown of the way in which Self Edge Measure their Jeans

Waist: Button them up, lay them flat and measure the waist. x2.

Front Rise: Find the bar tack and measure up from that to above the button.

Thigh: One inch down from the bar tack in the crotch and straight across.

Knee: 14 inches down from the bar tack in the crotch and straight across.

Leg opening, or hem: Lay the bottom of one of the legs flat and measure across.

Leg Length: Lay one leg of your jeans flat and turn it so the inseam is lying straight. Measure from the crotch to the hemline.

All Set! There we go, with these numbers I can go over and look at the measurements on the 32BSP page and I can choose a size and make sure they will fit me.

There we have it. I know it may seem like a bit of a faff, but this is an essential step and will save you time and money in the long run. You don't want to be sending your new jeans back and forward time and again. This will just end up costing you time and money. The time you could be spending in your new jeans and money you could be spending on beer.
