Baggy 50's
A deliberately full, baggy take on the 50s jean: deep rise and a wide leg throughout.
For a 32″ waist (our default: enter yours). Size 32’s waistband measures 31⅞″, ⅛″ under your waist: snug for the first few wears, then the waistband gives and settles right at your waist.

Compare with another model
The Japan Blue Jeans J501 is shorter in the leg (−3″), slimmer in the thigh (−⅜″), narrower at the opening (−½″) and higher in the rise (+⅜″). Both are Wide cuts.
How the J501 would fit
- Closer through the thigh, so expect a snug feel until it gives with wear.
- A narrower opening: neat with sneakers, a squeeze over chunky boots.
- Shorter in the leg: less cuffing needed.
