Sizes are approximate and vary by brand — always check the maker's own size chart.

About this tool

Enter your waist and inseam (leg length) in inches or centimetres to get a jeans size. The headline is the W×L number used in the US and UK — waist inches by inseam inches, such as 32×34 — alongside the European size, a UK number and the S/M/L letter equivalent. It all runs in your browser from a built-in chart; nothing is sent anywhere.

The W is your waist measurement in inches, rounded to the nearest whole inch, and the L is your inseam in inches; together they give W×L. The other systems come from a static waist-inch conversion chart: European jeans sizes run roughly ten above the inch waist (a 28" waist is about an EU 38, a 32" waist an EU 42), the UK number sits about eighteen below it, and the letter size groups waists into ranges (about 26–27" = S, 28–30" = M, 31–33" = L).

Measure your waist where you actually wear the jeans, and take the inseam from the crotch seam down the inside leg to the hem of a well-fitting pair. Denim is cut in many rises and styles and vanity sizing is common, so these figures are approximate and vary by brand — check the label's own chart before ordering.

Frequently asked questions

What do the two numbers in 32×34 mean?
The first is the waist in inches (W) and the second is the inseam, or inside-leg length, in inches (L). So 32×34 is a 32-inch waist with a 34-inch inseam. This W×L labelling is standard on US and UK denim.
How does the waist convert to a European size?
This tool uses a generic chart where the EU jeans size is roughly the inch waist plus ten — a 30" waist is about an EU 40, a 34" waist about an EU 44. Brands vary, so treat it as an estimate.
Should I measure my body or my jeans?
Measure your natural waist for a true W, but note that jeans are often labelled smaller than the body measurement (vanity sizing). If a favourite pair fits, measuring its flat waist × 2 is a reliable cross-check.
Are these sizes exact across brands?
No. Rise, stretch, fabric and cut change the fit dramatically, and two pairs both labelled 32×34 can feel different. Use this as a starting point and confirm against the specific brand's size chart.
