How to Measure Men's Pants Size?

You will need to take a few body measurements to determine your correct pant size. But no worries! Let us show you how to measure...


Determine EU pants size from waist, hips and inseam measurements

Waist: Measure circumference  around your natural waistline. Your waistline is usually situated just above your belly button (at the narrowest/slimmest part of torso).

Hips/Seat:
Measure circumference around the fullest part of your hips. Make sure to keep the measuring tape horizontal.

Inseam: Measure from the top of your inner leg (crotch) to bottom of inner leg (where pants ends, about 1'' (2,5 cm) below the ankle).

Use your measurements to determine your pant size from the Pants Size Charts below:

Pants Length - Inseam by Body Height

Most pants manufacturers offer pants in different lengths. Regular (R) is standard pant length, while Long (L) (sometimes called Tall (T)) is ment for longer persons. Short (S) inseam is ment for shorter persons. But which length to choose? Simply see our Pants Length Chart below...

Height is measured from floor and up while standing uprised against a wall, looking straight forward.
