Fit Guide
We want your jeans to fit you exactly as you like them to. This can be tricky when ordering online so we've posted detailed measurements of each garment in our online store.
This is a visual guide to show how we determine the measurements on all of our jeans. All of the measurements you will see posted on our site are derived using this method of "flat" measuring.
In order to determine which size The West is Dead jeans will best fit you, we recommend you measure a pair of your own jeans that fit well. Take measurements from your own jeans using the same method shown below, and compare them to the measurement chart listed below each product in our online store.
Please keep in mind all of our measurements are taken from unworn jeans that have not been washed. If you have any trouble determining what size you need, send us an email HERE and we'll be happy to assist you.
