Measuring
Where/How to measure your waist size.
Waist Size
Have your britches laying flat, with the top of the waistband as close to level (front and back) as possible. Run a measuring tape from the inside of one side, to the other side, without having slack in the waist of the britches or the measuring tape. Take the number shown in the measurement and double it…the 17” shown would be a size 34. These britches are made true to size…no place for vanity!
Where/How to measure your hem.
hem
For the hem, you’re simply measuring the opening, while flat, straight across from one side to the other. Take that number and double it. Round up to the nearest 1/4”. Shown is an 8 1/2”…for a 17” hem measurement.
Where/How to measure your back rise.
Back rise
Similar to the front rise, you’ll start at the crotch seam and run up the back to the top of the waistband. Rounding up to the nearest 1/4”. Seen here is a 16” back rise measurement.
Where/How to measure your thigh.
Thigh
With your britches still flat, legs open enough to work, measure from the crotch seam, to the outside edge, straight across. take that number and double it. Round up to the nearest 1/4'“. Shown is a 12 3/4”…for a 25 1/2” thigh measurement.
Where/How to measure your inseam.
inseam
With the britches still flat, and legs open, measure from the crotch seam all the way down to the hem, along the actual seam of the britches.
The image shown shows a cuffed hem of about 3”…added to the measured length of 36”, for a 39” inseam.
You can measure your inseam as mentioned here, or you can un-cuff the britches and measure one time.
I know my inseam is 36” and I like a 3” cuff.
Standard inseams on all models and fits at BULL HIDE DENIM CO. are at 36”.
If you require a different inseam, no problem, just let me know and we’ll get it squared away.
Where/How to measure your knee.
Knee
For the knee, start at the crotch seam and measure down the inseam 13”…from that point, measure straight across, take that number and double it. Round up to the nearest 1/4”. Shown is an 8 3/4”…for a 17 1/2” knee measurement.
Where/How to measure your front rise.
front rise
Your front rise should be measured from the crotch seam, up the front, to the top of the waistband. Again, round up to the nearest 1/4”. Seen here is a 13” front rise measurement.
Suspenders
When measuring for a pair of The Suspenders, begin with your measuring tape at the middle of the back center belt loop (if only one is available) and go over the shoulder, down to the middle of the front belt loop associated with the shoulder you came over, as pictured. Remain as upright as possible. Round to the nearest inch.
