Size Guide

Full-grain leather has minimal stretch—order true size, don't size down hoping to stretch.

Waist: Sits comfortably at natural waist without gaping or digging in
Hips: Smooth over hips without pulling or horizontal creasing
Thighs: Comfortable room for movement without excess fabric
Length: Wide-leg hits floor or ankle; skinny hits ankle; cargo hits mid-calf to ankle

By Body Type: Hourglass—high-waist skinny or wide-leg both flattering. Pear—wide-leg or flare balances proportions. Petite—skinny or straight-leg elongates; avoid very wide-leg. Tall—all silhouettes work.
