Basic Definition

Inseam is the seam that runs along the inner leg and measures the distance from the crotch to the hem. Inseam is an extremely important measurement when it comes to any pant. Inseam changes from style to style as well. For example, if you’d like the scrunched skinny jean look, add 4-5 inches to your inseam when designing your custom jeans. For a cuffed jean, you can also add about 3 inches to your inseam. Learn how to measure your inseam below!

Style Advice

The best way to accurately determine your inseam length is to put on the shoes that you intend to wear with your jeans. Then you should stand up straight and have a friend measure from the bottom edge of the hem to where you want the hem line to sit.
