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 .

Life Conversion Table (W)

W29 / W30 44

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 .

Actual Length Guide (L)
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.

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.
