This is how you measure your jeans, all credits to Blue in Green Soho:
Measurement Guide


measure-tape_ftpg_web This is a visual guide to how we measure our jeans.
All the measurements on our website are derived
using this method.

When trying to determine your correct size we
recommend measuring a pair of your own jeans that
fit you well the way we show here and comparing
those to the measurements we've posted for each
style. You may also email your measurements to us
for further assistance.
