Inseams?>


Question Posted Sunday July 20 2008, 6:03 pm

I need help decoding inseams for jeans. I don't have a tape measurer or ruler handy, so I dont know for sure what my inseam size would be. I'm 5'2 and weigh 128 pounds, which is adverage. Can anyone compare and tell me what a normal inseam size would be? Also, when picking a size online the sizes say, for example, 5 32". Is the 5 the wasit part, and the 32" the inseam part?

Thank you!

5 is the size of the pair of pants, and 32 means a 32 inch inseam, which is the "regular" length. Check a pair you already have. It'll most likely say "5 reg" or "5 short" which indicates the inseam size.


If you're ordering online, keep in mind that you can exchange them for a different size but you'll have to pay shipping. So, either try and find a ruler or tape measure [borrow one if you have to] or try on pants in a store. A piece of string can work too- cut the string to size, then measure the string.


So if all you had was, say, a protractor with a ruler on the bottom, you could use that to figure out your inseam length!

I'm practically the exact same weight and height as you and what i can say though is there there is no 'normal' inseam size because it really depends on where you gain weight. people could be the same height and weight and be completely different sizes in pants because people gain weight differently. All i can tell you is that you should go to a store and try on different pants until you find a size that fits you. you should never order pants or anything until you have tried on your size at a store and know taht it fits (if you were planning on ordering).
No 5 is not the waist. No ones waist is that tiny. I'm pretty sure that's the pant size and the 32" is the inseam.

Here's a sizing chart:

Measure your own inseam and waist or just go and try on pants.

I hope this was atleast slightly helpful :)
