Democracy Core Denim

Fit & Leg Shapes

With our jeans, we usually recommend sizing down one size from your usual pants for a comfortable and flattering fit. But, if you’re looking for a way to ensure your denim looks and feels flawless every time, you’ll want to pay attention to each pair’s individual measurements. Grab a tape measure and your best-fitting jeans to get started!

How to Find Your Rise

1. Choose your favorite pair of jeans that fit you well. Lay them flat on a hard surface, making sure they're fully buttoned and zipped. Smooth out any wrinkles to ensure accurate measurements.

2. To find your rise, measure along the front seam from the crotch to the top edge of the waistband.
