Best Types of Jeans for Men for each Body Type

Jeans for Your Body Type: Pick the Cut and Size That Fit

Order the waist size you already wear in your best-fitting jeans, check it against our models, and choose the cut by your thighs. That covers most builds in our range, because 107 of our 115 jeans are a skinny cut with the same composition: 97% cotton, 3% elastane. The cut is close on every pair. The size you order decides whether close reads sharp or tight.

Start with the size you trust

Find the pair you reach for first and read the waist size on the label. Start there.

Then check it against our models. On most product pages he is 180 cm and 75 kg and wears a 31. On a few, he is 185 cm and 82 kg and wears a 32. If your build is close to his and your usual size is far from his, check the letter size on the page before you order.

Most styles run 29 to 36. Some go to 38, and a few to 40. Most pages also list a letter size:

Waist Letter
29 XS
30 S
31 or 32 M
33 or 34 L
36 XL

A 38 is XL on most pages and XXL on some, so check the page before you order. We don't publish garment measurements yet.

Pick the cut by your thighs

Slim through the thigh. Any skinny cut works, and you have the whole range to choose from. Headstone ($74.99) and Black Headstone ($79.99) are the plainest places to start, with every size from 29 to 36 in stock. If you want the jeans to carry the outfit, Maverick ($79.99) is gray with white stains and ripped knees.

Thicker thighs or a heavier seat. The skinny cut stays close even with 3% elastane. When the waist fits and the thigh pulls, change the cut. Blueprint ($89.99) is our regular fit: black, with patched distressing, and every size from 29 to 36 in stock.

A loose, wide leg. We can't promise one in our denim right now. If that is your silhouette, our range will feel narrow, and that is worth knowing before you order.

Length and height

Our pages list the waist only. Inseam isn't published yet, and customers have told us some of our pants run long.

  • Shorter than average: plan on a hem, or wear the extra length as a stack over high-tops.
  • Around 180 to 185 cm: the two models are your closest reference.
  • Taller than 185 cm: check the length against your current pair before you take the tags off.

Between two sizes

Most product pages say the stretch covers a size either way. Between a 31 and a 32 with slim thighs, take the 31 for a close fit. If your thighs are the tight spot, take the 32 and expect the waist to sit slightly loose.

The one move

Find the pair you already trust, read the label, then order that number.
