Inseams are personal. Shipping everyone a 34 and wishing them luck never made sense to us.

Most jeans ship at a 32 or 34 inch inseam and leave the rest to you. That means a trip to a tailor, a hem that loses its roping, or a stack of fabric over your shoes.

One question at checkout

Tick Hem to my length on the product page and tell us your inseam. The bench cuts and chain-stitches the hem before it ships, usually within two days.

Why chain stitch matters

A chain stitch pulls the hem slightly as it is sewn. After a few washes that tension twists the fabric into the diagonal ripple denim people call roping. A flat lockstitch never does.

A good hem is the difference between jeans that fit and jeans that almost fit.

Not sure of your inseam?

Measure a pair you love from the crotch seam to the hem along the inside leg. Or use the Fit Finder, which suggests a length for the shoes you wear most.
