How to Measure Men's Pants Size?

You will need to take a few body measurements (waist, hips and inseam) to determine your correct pant size. But no worries! Let us show you how to measure...

Determine US/UK pants size from waist, hips and inseam measurements

Waist: Use a flexible measuring tape and measure circumference around your natural waistline. Your waistline is located just above your belly button (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 measurements to determine your pants size from the pants size charts below:
