The size on our men's jeans is a waist size, from 28 to 42. You can find yours in two ways: with a tape measure (waist and hips) or by your weight. Then look at the fit of the jeans, because the same size fits differently in baggy and in slim.
The short answer
- Measure your waist at its narrowest point and find the size in the table.
- No tape measure? In the Size Guide of every product, enter your height and weight to see the recommended size.
- Don't go up a size in baggy jeans. They are wide on purpose.
How to measure your waist and hips
- Waist: place the tape measure around the narrowest point of your waist.
- Hips: stand with your feet together and place the tape measure around the widest point of your hips.
Measure over your underwear, with the tape measure level and snug, not tight.

The table is based on an average build. If you have a narrow waist, take one size smaller. If you have a wide waist, one size larger.
Same size, different fit
In size 32 the leg opening is 28 cm in slim, 34 cm in loose fit, 42 cm in baggy and 47 cm in cargo (garment measurements). Your size does not change; what changes is how wide the leg falls. See the differences in detail in the article Baggy, Loose Fit or Balloon.
- Baggy, balloon, cargo: take your usual size, not a larger one. They are wide on purpose. Want them less wide? Go one size down.
- Loose fit: take your usual size. It is not baggy: it narrows towards the ankle. If you want a very roomy fit, choose baggy.
- Regular and straight: take your usual size.
- Slim and skinny: if you are between two sizes, take the larger one.
A trick: measure a pair of jeans that fits you
Lay a pair of jeans that fits you flat on a table, button them up and measure the waist from edge to edge. Double the number and compare it with the “Garment waist” in the product's Size Guide. That way you compare garment with garment.
