Measuring Guide - Tartan Trousers
We kindly advise that you ask a friend or family member to take the measurements for you, as you will need to stand straight, feet together and head up looking forwards, do not look down. The only exception is when measuring your thighs, inside and outside leg length—your feet should be shoulder-width apart.
Make sure to breathe and do not suck in your stomach. Wear a pair of comfortable trousers that fit well to your body (not chinos or jeans). We advise that you wear shoes that you plan to wear with the trousers when measuring. Remove any items in your trouser pockets - such as wallet, phone, keys etc.
Use a soft tailor's measuring tape and not a builder's measuring tape. Keep the tape straight and not twisted.
Ensure all measurements are taken in inches. Always measure twice for accuracy.
This method ensures consistent trouser measurements for purchasing.
Please feel free to contact us if you require further assistance with measuring.
1. Waist
- Measure around the natural waistline (where trousers normally sit).
- Keep the tape snug but not tight.Ensure it is level all the way around.
2. Hip / Seat
- Measure around the fullest part of the hips with two fingers behind the tape and feet together.
- Keep the tape horizontal and relaxed.
3. Inside Leg Length (Inseam)
- Measure from the crotch seam down to the bottom of the ankle with feet shoulder width apart.
4. Outside Leg Length (Out seam)
- Measure from the top of the waistband down to the hem with feet shoulder width apart.
- Run the tape along the side of the leg to the bottom of the ankle (halfway down the shoe).
5. Thigh
- Measure around the fullest part of the upper thigh, two inches below the crotch seam with feet shoulder width apart.
7. Calf
- Measure around the widest part of the calf.
8. Leg Opening (Hem Width)
- Shoe size is required to calculate the bottom hem of the trouser leg.
9. Height
- Stand straight with feet together and head up looking forwards.
