Features of men's jeans sizes depending on the country

Modern men prefer to do many things online, even buy things. The process takes little time and can be combined with other activities, because the stronger sex does not like to waste time. One of the most popular things in the wardrobe of guys is jeans. But choosing this item of clothing through the World Wide Web is difficult, the sizes of men's jeans can vary depending on the country, and it is not always technically clear how to measure the parameters.

Size charts

In order not to make a mistake with your choice and not to suffer later with a return, you need to understand the various size charts.

Russian

On clothing manufacturers' websites, you can often find size charts from different countries. People who support domestic manufacturers will not have too much trouble deciding on the size of men's jeans. There are petite men, but it is impossible to find trousers up to Russian size 42, unless you have them made to order. The standard size range for the stronger sex starts with 44.

When choosing the right parameters of trousers for the strong half of humanity, you need to take into account the waist and hips. Below is a table of jeans sizes for men for better orientation.

The table has average parameters, but the principle is simple: each standard differs from the previous one by 4 cm, there is a difference of 2 cm between the measurements for waist circumference, and hip circumference is set more precisely. It is important that for thin men, the specified parameters are applied more strictly, and starting from 64-66, the figure acquires more non-standard volumes and you need to be more careful in choosing.

European

European sizes are measured in inches. An English inch is equal to 2.54 cm. To get this measurement, a Russian man would need to divide his waist circumference in centimeters by 2.54. For example, 75/2.54=29.5.

This will be the waist measurement in inches. Jeans from Europe always have this measurement on the tag. The European men's jeans size chart looks like this.

With the resulting 29.5 inches, the young man will have a European indicator of 40, which is equal to 46 Russian.

American

American-made jeans are also measured in inches. American men's jeans sizes are represented by the letter W, and as a measurement, it means waist circumference. You can do it simply - measure the waist length of an old pair, if it fits well.

For example, the length of the belt is 42 cm, this figure must be multiplied by 2, you will get the full girth.

• 42*2=84.
• 84/2.54=33.07.

2.54 is inches, a measurement unit.

Experts advise to subtract 1 from the resulting number, the error, since the old trousers are stretched and worn out. The final number 32 will be W. If there are no old trousers to measure, you can use another method, but for this you will need to know the Russian parameters. If a young man wears domestic 48, he will need to subtract the number 16 from the figure, the same size 32 will be obtained.

When choosing a product, you need to pay attention to the label; in addition to W, there is also H - this is the length of the legs from the inside. While long trousers can be shortened, a garment that is too short is practically impossible to fix. This indicator should be treated no less carefully. There are also parameters for the correspondence of the sizes of men's jeans to the length of the trousers:

• for men up to 170 cm tall and with an inseam length of approximately 76 cm, L 30 will be suitable;
• over 170 and up to 178 L 32 is suitable;
• for the strong half of humanity, height from 178 to 188 and leg length of at least 86, corresponds to L 34;
• Well, for tall guys over 188 cm, men's jeans of large sizes are suitable, and the parameter L 36.

L is obtained by a mathematical example: the measured length must be divided by 2.54. For example, 76/2.54=29.92. The figure is rounded and taken as size 30.

International

Unlike all the above size charts, the international one is designated not by numbers, but by letters. These designations come from abbreviations of English words. The prefix "X" in this case means the word "very": XS is very small, and XL is very large.

• S – small;
• M - medium;
• L — big.

For men's sizes XXS starts with domestic 44, and the next value increases by 2 units. That is, 46 will already be considered XS.

How to find out your size

When you can easily try on a thing, many people don’t even think about what size they wear. But if you order trousers online, you have to rely only on the accuracy of the measurements. When choosing a thing in both a domestic and foreign store, you need to take into account two measurements: waist and hip circumference. How to take measurements correctly so as not to make a mistake:

• unlike women, young people need to measure not the narrowest part of the waist, but the area where the belt on classic jeans usually goes. This is the distance that needs to be taken into account when determining the size. In the Russian system, it is measured in cm, in all others - in inches. The tables above will help you find out your jeans size using ready-made measurements;
• To find out the length of the trousers, you will need to measure the distance from the crotch to the bottom edge of the leg on the inside with a measuring tape. The resulting value is divided by inches, after which the size is known.

Common mistakes when choosing

In addition to the fact that you can get the size wrong, there are several other common mistakes when choosing jeans:

• fabric composition — the permissible limit of elastane in denim is 4-5%, otherwise the jeans will stretch very quickly, lose their shape, and the knees will sag. The recommended content is 2%. If you buy a stretch model of a narrow cut, it is better to buy jeans one size smaller, very soon they will stretch to a comfortable level. Otherwise, in half a month they will hang on their owner;
• accessories - it is not recommended to buy things with glitter, rivets, embroidery. All this is good in adolescence, but after that it brings an element of cheapness;
• size - we are talking about deliberate understatement. How to choose jeans by size? When choosing a product made of real cotton, you should not take trousers that are difficult to put on. They will not stretch and may rub;
• price - a cheap pair cannot be of good quality. It will not last long and will look bad.

It happens that not all manufacturers sew clothes according to the established standards. In this case, it is best to focus on the parameters indicated on the site. As you know, many clothes from China are small, so it is difficult to count on the usual format here.
