SIZE GUIDE
Our jeans are vintage/secondhand : each piece is unique and may vary from "modern" sizes. For this reason, on our shop you will always find verified actual measurements and complete information on the product page.
What does W (Life) mean?
The W (Waist) indicates the waist measurement.
The W in the product title corresponds to the one on the label . In any case, the measurements indicated in the product description always refer to an actual measurement of the garment .
| Size W (Label) | Size IT (Men) |
|---|---|
| W28 | 42 |
| W29 / W30 | 44 |
| W31 / W32 | 46 |
| W33 / W34 | 48 |
| W36 | 50 |
| W38 | 52 |
| W40 / W42 | 54 / 56 |
What does L (Length) mean?
The L (Length / Inseam) indicates the length of the leg (inseam).
In vintage jeans, the length can change over time: some items may have been shortened , re-cut or altered.
For this reason the L on the label does not always correspond to the actual length .
| Size L (Real) | Inseam | Recommended Height | Style and Fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| L28 | 68 – 72 cm | Under 170 cm | Short cut to the ankle or small stature. |
| L30 | 73 – 77 cm | 170 – 178 cm | Standard length: falls straight on the shoe. |
| L32 | 78 – 82 cm | 179 – 186 cm | Ideal for those who love to cuff. |
| L34 | 83 – 87 cm | 187 – 195 cm | Ample length for tall statures. |
| L36 | 88 – 92 cm | Over 195 cm | Extra Long cut for very tall heights. |
Why the L on our shop may be different from the label
The size L you see in our shop is not always the one printed on the label:
We check the actual length and catalogue the jeans based on their actual length , so you have a more precise indication when purchasing.
