SIZING + HOW TO MEASURE
JACKETS
Everyone prefers a different jacket fit, we've called out key measurements to help you determine your perfect fit below!
Shoulders: This will be the distance from shoulder to shoulder (measured in inches) and determine if a jacket will be oversize or fit tighter. Phone a friend and use a tape measure to measure your shoulders from the back, no slouching! This will will you the minimum shoulder measurement you should be looking for.
Sleeve Length: Use a tape measure again to measure the length from your shoulder down your arm to your wrist.
Jacket Length: As some of our jackets are cropped, please note all jacket lengths will be listed on product pages! This measurement will note the length from shoulders/neck of jacket to bottom hem.
BOTTOMS
Because Valley Denim aims to source products that are only 100% cotton denim, they do not have as much give as bottoms mixed with spandex, polyester, etc have. Please keep in mind that a listed Size 30 in Vintage Denim could be perfect for a Size 26 waist depending on the fit and style preferred.
We recommend sizing up rather than sizing down on bottoms. Please see how to find these measurements below:
Waist: Use a tape measure. Start at the top of your hip bone, then bring the tape measure all the way around, level with your belly button.
Hips: Identify the widest part of your hips, then measure this area around your hips and booty.
Rise: Rise is the measurement / length of the crotch area and will show you how low or high waisted a style is.
Inseam: Grab a pair of pants you already have that are your ideal length and lay them flat on the floor. Measure the length from the crotch seam to the bottom of the leg.
Leg Opening: This shows how wide the pant leg is. Straight Legs (Levi's 501 for example) are always around 8 inches.
