At this stage we recommend putting the jeans on and identifying where you are fullest or widest in the hips including your seat/ buttocks. Mark the jeans on both sideseams at this spot for use in the 'Waist to hips measurement'. Then remove your jeans and measure from one side to the other side where you have made the marks. Be sure to pull any folds or looseness from both fronts and backs so the jeans are laying completely flat.

You will then multiply this measurement by 2.

Tip: Mark this point on the side seams and/or in the middle with masking tape or chalk for the next measurement.

Measure from the top of your waistband to the masking tape you put on your front where you are fullest or widest in the hips.

This is your waist to hip measurement.

Measure from the crotch where the inseam meets the front and back seams to the top of the waistband. Be sure to pull any folds or looseness from both fronts and backs so the jeans are laying completely flat.

This measurement is known as the front rise.

Measure from the crotch where the inseam meets the front and back seams to the top of the waistband. Be sure to pull any folds or looseness from both fronts and backs so the jeans are laying completely flat.

This measurement is known as the back rise.

Measure the thigh at the crotch where the inseam meets the front and back seams at the crotch. Measure from one side to the other side, directly across the fabric width when pulled flat.

You will then multiply this measurement by 2. This is your thigh measurement.

Tip: Avoid the mistake of measuring halfway down to the knee - the correct position is much higher, near the crotch.

Measure the inseam from the crotch where the front & back seams meet to the bottom of the leg at the length you wish your jeans to reach. Keep in mind any shoes or boots you will wear when you wear your jeans.

Measure from one side to the other side.

You will then multiply this measurement by 2. This is your leg opening measurement.

Helpful measuring tips for a truely Tailormade Jeanswear fit.

1. Be careful to measure using the beginning/start of the measuring tape.     

2.To take accurate measurements pull the measuring tape straight, don't leave it hanging loose. Make sure the tape is at equal angles to the seams if measuring across, not higher or lower on one side.

3. It will help if you measure your best fitting jeans while they are laying flat on a table. Make any adjustments to give you the fit you want.

4. Alternately like many of our clients who don’t have a best fitting pair; measure a pair of jeans, shorts or trousers that fit in most places and make adjustments to give you the fit you want.

5. Don't measure over belts or items that may be in pockets.

6. It will help save you time if you jot down your individual measurements as you measure for later use when filling in your account form.

7. A friend or relative may be of help in taking your measurements. This may make it more fun too!
