How to Size Men's Jeans
Finding a good pair of jeans that fits just right can be a challenge. Have your jeans custom tailored for your body measurements if you want a perfect fit. Standard men's jeans are made using only the waist and length measurements. However, custom-tailored jeans use several additional measurements in order to adequately size the jeans to your own unique proportions. Many jean-supply companies as well as first-rate department stores and men's clothing stores offer jean tailoring as a service. Does this Spark an idea?

Tips & Warnings
When taking body measurements, hold the tape so it is just taut; not so tight that it is pinching, but not too loose either. Pinch the tape together in your fingers to take a measurement. Do not put more than one finger between the tape and your body when pinching.
