THE GARMENT MEASURING NOTEBOOK

Three comparisons.
A clearer choice.

Dark indigo straight-leg full jeans, no distressing — AI product illustration, not a worn fit photograph

Straight dark-rinse jeans — illustrated whole product, not a body-size diagram.

01 / Lay your favorite pair flat.

Fasten the waistband, smooth without stretching and measure the inner seam from crotch join to finished hem. Keep inches for inseam, centimeters for our other measurements. Record rise from crotch seam to waistband top, then compare like with like. A low rise and high rise with the same inseam are not the same fit.

Straight dark-rinse · $78.00 offers 28, 30 and 32 inch inseams. Its US 8 nominal rise is 28 cm and hem circumference 38 cm. Choose the actual size-and-inseam option, not a guessed length in a note.

02 / Compare the leg opening.

Our US 8 ecru wide-leg has a 54 cm hem circumference and 30 inch inseam. The washed barrel has a 36 cm hem circumference and 27 inch inseam, with a fuller thigh. A smaller hem does not necessarily mean a slimmer upper leg. Compare both thigh and opening; circumference is not the same as a flat width.

Ecru wide-leg · $84.00 · Washed barrel · $92.00
Moss green cropped V-neck rib knit — AI product illustration, not a worn fit photograph

Cropped moss rib cardigan — a separate product from every pair of jeans.

03 / Set a cardigan beside your jeans.

Measure a comfortable knit from the high shoulder to the hem, then measure chest circumference without stretching. Compare our M cropped moss at 48 cm length with the M indigo longline at 82 cm. One exposes more of the denim line; the other layers over it. Neither length tells you where the hem will sit on your body.

For dropped shoulders, sleeve length from a shoulder seam is not comparable to neck-to-cuff. The cobalt box illustration has a relaxed shorter sleeve; its actual sleeve length needs confirmation. Check the measurement method before concluding that a sleeve is shorter.

After the comparison.

Confirm care instructions for the actual fiber. Wash temperature and drying depend on the item, not its silhouette. If flat drying is permitted, support the whole knit and reshape gently; avoid stretching a damp garment. Send your measured comparison and SKU if any dimension is unclear.
