Pants - Size guide for jeans and chinos

How to find the right size for your jeans and chinos

To help you find the right size for your next pair of jeans or chinos, we have prepared a short video tutorial with two possible options:

  • Measure your waist and inseam. 
  • Measure a pair of pants that fit you well, taking the waist and leg length measurements

Waist size / Belt size

Some brands tend to make you believe that you are thinner than you actually are. This is not our case. Our measurements are exact in the conversion of the waist circumference from centimeters to American inches. And so they are sometimes a bit smaller than those of other brands. For example, if you usually wear a 32 US, consider a 33 US with us.

As an exception to the rule, our Selvedges fit larger than our jeans and chinos. So order your usual size and treat yourself to a Le Beau Jean Selvedge.

Leg length

Here is our leg length recommendation based on your height:

  • You are between 1m70 and 1m80 tall, take a length 32 US.
  • You are between 1m80 and 1m90 tall, take a length 34 US.

Inseam is related to height, but not in the same proportions for everyone. To determine the leg length you need, as with waist measurement, our best advice is to measure a pair of pants that fits you, along the inside seam of the legs, in centimeters and then divide by 2.54 to get the length in inches.

Alternatively, you can measure your inseam, which is the distance from your perineum to the floor, convert it to a US size by dividing by 2.54 and subtract 1 inch for jeans or 2 inches for chinos. Jeans tend to be worn a little more sagging on the ankle than chinos.

A solution for long legs: Selvedge pants are often worn with a cuff. This is their natural hem length, revealing the absence of a stop seam and the characteristic red thread. They are therefore made with a leg length longer than that indicated. A size 34 Selvedge includes the cuff, so it is cut from fabric that is closer to a size 36.
