How to read a jeans size label. The first number is the waist measurement in inches — wrap a tape snugly around your natural waist, usually above the hip bone. The second number is the inside leg (inseam) in inches — measure from crotch to ankle bone.
This size in every system:
| Measurement | US/UK (inches) | EU (cm) |
|---|---|---|
| Waist | 40" | 102 cm |
| Inseam | 28" | 71 cm |
| Letter size | XL | XL |
⚠️ Jeans fit varies by brand and cut. Slim and skinny cuts can run a size smaller. Always check the brand's own size chart and measure yourself — denim labels are approximate.
