How to measure
jeans and pants
for a listing.
4 numbers buyers ask for. Lay it flat on a table, buttoned or zipped, and smooth it out before you start.
- AWaistButtoned, straight across the top of the waistband. Double it.
- BRiseFrom the crotch seam up to the top of the waistband, at the front.
- CInseamFrom the crotch seam down the inside of the leg to the hem.
- DLeg openingStraight across the hem of one leg. Double it for the full opening.
What makes
the number wrong.
- Measuring the waist along the curve of the waistband instead of straight across.
- Using the tag size: vintage and stretch denim run small or big, the number on the tag doesn't help.
- Measuring the inseam on the outside of the leg (that's the outseam, a different number).
Put it on
the photo.
Many buyers only swipe the photos. If the measurements are on one of them, the "measurements?" message never comes. The measurement photo maker draws them on your own photo, in the browser, and nothing is uploaded.
