Everything on Menjitsu is sized from your real waist, measured around your body where your jeans sit.

Welcome! This is the place to ask about fit, compare fabrics and share how your pairs are wearing in.
A few house rules:
- Measurements over tag sizes. When you ask about fit, include your body waist and a pair that fits you well (rise, thigh and opening if you can).
- Be kind. Everyone was new to raw denim once.
- No selling or spam. Links to retailers and size charts are welcome.
New to selvedge? Selvedge 101 wal...
I'm curious to know if anyone does this regularly and what your results have been. Any tips or tricks?
21oz in August? 14oz all winter? Tell us what weight you reach for most, and where you live, so others can calibrate.
The 634S is one of the most charted straights here, in weights from 14oz to 21oz. If you own one, which tag size did you go with for your waist, and did the heavier fabric fit differently?
Tell us the jeans you want to see in the catalogue, ideally with a link to a size chart. You can also use the suggestion form: https://menjitsu.com/suggest
Unsanforized denim can shrink a lot on its first soak. If you've done it, how much did your pair change in the waist and length, and would you size the same way again?
Model, weight, how long you've been wearing them and how often. Photos of early fades very welcome.
The most useful thing you can share here is a pair that fits you, measured.
Reply with:
- Body waist and height
- The jean, tag size and fabric weight
- What you'd change (more thigh room? narrower opening?)
Then use the waist box at the top of any page and the catalogue will size every model for you.
