Trouser.
 Measurement of a Trouser

• Waist Width-Lay the pants

down on a flat surface, face
up. Use your hands to spread
the pants out flat, with the
waistband buttoned at the
front and the fly zipped close.
The front of the waistband
should lay directly on top of
the back of the waistband.
Measure across the top of the
waistband from one side of
the pant to the other.
• Hip Width-With the pants
laying face up on a flat
surface, use your hands to
spread the pants out flat,
with the waistband
buttoned at the front and
fly zipped close. Starting
7” below the top of the
waistband, measure
parallel to the top of the
waistband across from one
side of the pant to the
other.
• Thigh Width-Lay the pants flat
on their sides, so that the legs
are folded along the front and
back creases. Fold the top leg
up over the waistband,
making the bottom of the
crotch visible. Use your hands
to spread out and flatten the
bottom pant leg across the
thigh. Measuring 1” below the
lowest part of the crotch
(where the inseams of each
leg meet), measure straight
across the width of the leg,
perpendicular to the inseam.
• Knee Width-Lay the pants flat on
their sides, so that the legs are
folded along the front and back
creases. Fold the top leg up over
the waistband, making the bottom
of the crotch visible. Use your
hands to spread out and flatten
the bottom pant leg. The knee
width should be measured 2”
above the halfway point of the
inseam. At this point, measure
straight across the width of the
leg, perpendicular to the inseam.
For example, if the inseam length is
32”, the Knee Width should be
measured at 14” below the bottom
of the crotch. That is, 2” above the
midpoint (16”) of the total 32”
inseam.
• Leg Opening Width-Lay the
pants flat on their sides, so
that the legs are folded
along the front and back
creases. Fold the top leg up
over the waistband, making
the bottom of the crotch
visible. Use your hands to
spread out and flatten the
lower end of the bottom
pant leg. Measure across
the bottom of the pant
hem, from one edge of the
leg opening to the other.
• Front Rise-With the pants
laying face up on a flat
surface, use your hands to
spread the pants out flat,
with the waistband buttoned
at the front and fly zipped
close. Spread the legs further
apart from one another than
their resting position, such
that the bottom of the crotch
is clearly visible. Measure
from the top of the
waistband down along the
fly to where the inseams of
the legs meet one another.
• Back Rise-With the pants
lying flat, face down, spread
the legs further apart from
one another than their
resting position. Then, fold
the legs upward so that the
leg openings rest above the
waistband. Pull down on the
bottom of the crotch until the
intersection of the inseams is
visible. Measure from the top
of the waistband down along
the center back seam to
where the inseams of the legs
meet one another.
• Inseam Length-Lay the pants
flat on their sides, so that the
legs are folded along the
front and back creases. Fold
the top leg up over the
waistband, making the
bottom of the crotch visible.
Use your hands to straighten
out and flatten the bottom
pant leg. The inseam length is
measured from the bottom of
the crotch (where the
inseams meet), down the
inside of the leg to the
bottom of the leg opening.
• Total Length-Lay the
pants flat on their sides,
so that the legs are folded
along the front and back
creases. Use your hands
to straighten out and
flatten the pant legs.
Measure from the top of
the waistband down to
the bottom of the leg
opening, following along
the side seam of the leg.
