IMPORTANT SIZING INFORMATION FOR MOST PREOWNED JEANS Please read before purchasing: The majority of the time, preowned jeans do not fit according to the size printed on the tag or back patch. Over the years, denim shrinks, stretches, and softens, so the original tagged size is no longer reliable. Because of this, I do not use the tag size in my listing title or item specifics. Instead, I list the actual, current measurements so you know exactly how the jeans fit today. I measure every pair carefully, laying flat, using the following method: * Waist: measured straight across the waistband, then doubled * Inseam: measured from crotch seam to bottom hem * Thigh & leg opening: included when relevant Please rely on the provided measurements—not the tag size—before purchasing. The best way to learn which measurements are best for you, is to take a pair of jeans that fit you the way you like them, and measure the waist, inseam, thigh and leg opening. Thank you. 7812
