How To Measure - Trousers
Before you start...
1. Always ask someone to measure you, never be tempted to measure yourself!
2. Please take all measurements in inches.
3. Please use a loose tailors tape measure, not a stiff DIY tape measure. These are cheap to buy either locally or online.
4. Stand relaxed (do not breathe in), with your feet together and look straight ahead at all times.
5. Ensure the tape measure is level all the way around for each measurement, it shouldn't be sloping or slanting.

WAIST
- Physically measure your waist size, do not rely on any garments you have at home as these will typically measure 2-3 inches less than the label suggests.
- Formal trousers are worn higher than casual wear (up on the waist) so please measure just above your hip bones
- The tape measure should be as tight as you want the trousers to be on your waist when worn
HIPS/SEAT
- Remove any items from your pockets and measure around the widest point of the seat/hips.
- As illustrated, this is normally around the widest part of your buttocks.
- Put three fingers inside the tape to allow room for comfortable movement.
INSIDE LEG
- Remove any footwear.
- Measure from the crotch to the floor. As shown, this measurement is taken on the inside of your leg.
- Please take this measurement while wearing formal trousers if possible (remember to wear them up on the waist, not on the hips). Jeans are acceptable, but again, they must be worn at the correct height.
