Measure around your waist, in your underwear, at the point where your trousers would normally ride. Keep one finger between the tape and your body.

Stand with your heels together, and measure around the fullest part of your hips, keeping the tape parallel to the floor.

Select a pair of your best-fitting pants of a similar material. Lay the pants flat and measure from the center of the crotch to the bottom of one leg. The number of inches, to the nearest half-inch, is the inseam length.

Stand in stocking feet with your feet slightly apart and your back to a wall. Measure from the floor to the top of your head.

Rise is the distance from your front waist to your back waist by way of your crotch. Choose Long Rise if you are 6'1" or taller, high-waisted, or want more "depth." Choose Short Rise if you are 5'7" or under.

We will be pleased to cuff or hem your trousers and pants free of charge. Please keep in mind these guidelines:

• If you do not specify a cuffing or hemming length, your pants will be delivered unfinished.
• Please allow 1-2 days additional processing time for hemming and cuffing.
• Remember to allow an extra 1/2 inch (1,5 cm) for shrinkage in 100% cotton items.
• Some jeans and corduroy trousers can be hemmed but not cuffed.
• As indicated in the charts below, the maximum inseam for cuffed pants is 2 inches less than the maximum for straight hemmed ("uncuffed") pants. This is because creating a cuff requires 2 inches of fabric.
