Pants
Find Your Fit
Show off your lower half with pants that fit how they should. The difference is real, and it matters!
The Backside
The Ideal Fit Is...
Has a smooth drape over your rear, accentuating but not pulling tight against it. The pants should be comfortable, easy to side down in - but not loose. Just enough movement but not anything more.
Too loose if...
There is excess fabric floating around in the back. If you can grab a bunch of fabric in the back below your butt, the pants are too loose.
Too tight if...
Visible horizontal lines and pulling indicate the thigh and / or the crotch is too tight. If the pants are uncomfortably tight, get them adjusted.

Consider Adjustments If...
The crotch is uncomfortable or there's too much excess fabric floating in the back.
Length
The Ideal Fit Is...
For a modern look we recommend no break - where the pants finish just at the top of the shoe. This avoids any bunching at the bottom for a more crisp, streamlined appearance. For a more classic look, a half break is as long as we'd recommend going.
Too long if...
There's more than a slight bunching of the pants around your ankle. It looks ruffled, unkempt, and not fitted. We strongly recommend avoiding this look.
Too short if...
Your entire ankle is visible, unless of course your pants were intentionally cut to the more casual, fashion-forward ankle flash length.

Consider Adjustments If...
Your ankle is readily visible (unless intended) or your pants are bunching at the bottom around your ankles.
Beltline / Thigh / Calf / Pants Opening
Beltline...
The ideal perfect beltline circumference won't need a belt to hold the pants up, but won't be too tight either.
Thigh...
This is partially personal preference that depends on your personal style. Slim cut custom pants will have more limited movement and will require a tug up on this area before sitting, but will look more more crisp and tapered.
Calf...
This is also a matter of personal preference but does depend partly on the width of the thigh. The ideal calf should be snug but not get caught on your leg during movement such as standing up from a seated position.
Opening...
This largely depends on the size of the thigh and calf, with the target opening a minimum of 14.5". A small opening will benefit from a more fitted appearance but may be more difficult to slip over your foot.
How Much Movement Should You Expect?
Our modern fit should be comfortably slim, but not tight. You should be able to walk comfortably and perform basic movements. The pants should be comfortable to sit in, but not by a wide margin. Giving a light tug up on both thighs as you sit provides a bit of extra room.
