What inseam length is best for my height?

A general guide: under 5'8" aim for 28-30" inseam; 5'8" to 6'0" aim for 30-32"; above 6'0" aim for 32-34". These are starting points — personal preference for break and stack plays a big role.

Do cargo pants shrink in the wash?

Cotton cargo pants may shrink 1-3% after the first hot wash. To preserve fit, wash cold and hang dry. Pre-shrunk fabrics will have minimal shrinkage.

Are shorts sizing consistent with pants?

Not always. Shorts often use a different pattern block and may sit at a different rise (waist height). Always check the specific size chart for shorts rather than assuming your pants size translates directly.

Fit Warning

Pants are the most returned category in spreadsheet communities because buyers guess their size. Always use a measuring tape on a pair of pants that fits you well, and match each measurement to the size chart. Do not rely on your retail size label alone.

Fabric Behavior Over Time

Raw and rigid denim will soften and mold to your body over time, often shrinking slightly before stretching to fit. Stretch denim with elastane may sag at the knees and seat after repeated wear. Cargo pants with heavy pocket loads will distort the silhouette over time. Choose your fabric based on how you plan to wear the garment.

Pants/Shorts FAQ

Measure a pair of pants that fits you well, laid flat. Measure across the waistband and double that number. Compare this to the flat measurement listed in the spreadsheet. Do not guess based on your retail jeans size.
