How to Find Your Length of Trousers by Inseam?

There are two standard ways to check the length of your trousers by inseam. The first method is to get a pair of your favorite pants and check the tag on the pants.

You’ll find the measurement by inseam printed on the tag. You can use these measurements to purchase other trousers of a similar fitting.

The other method you can use to determine the measurement of your trouser by inseam is to measure the inseam yourself.

Here are tables showing materials you need to measure the length of your trouser and their function:

Materials/Tools	Function
Smooth surface	To place your pants on
A pair of well-fitting pants	To check the inseam measurement
Measuring Tape	To get the measurement value
Iron	To smoothen out the wrinkles and folds on the pants.

Here are steps on how to measure the length of your trousers by inseam:

The first step is to find a pair of nicely fitting pants. Then, you can easily find your pant measurement by checking the inseam from the pants you own.
Lay the pants on a flat surface and fold them half by length. When you fold the pants, ensure that you line up the legs with each other.
The next step is to lift the top pants leg. When you lift the top pants leg, you will see the inseam running from the underside of the crotch down to the pant hem.
Use an iron to smoothen the wrinkles on the lower pants legs so you can measure adequately.
Get a measuring tape to measure from the crotch seam to the hem of the pants. You can find the crotch seam at the center of the crotch of your pants.
The measurement from the crotch seam to the hem of your pants is your inseam. Check the measurement value and write it down somewhere for future use.

If you don’t have well-fitting pants, you can measure yourself through the mirror, and here are steps on how to do it:

It would be best if you got the measurements very close to your skin, so it is best to take the measures in your underwear.
Stand straight in front of a floor-length mirror to help you when taking measurements
Put the tip of your measuring tape where your thigh meets your groin. Make sure to leave the tape unrolled as you hold the video.
The next step is to slowly lower the down to your ankles and keep it close to your skin. Finally, you can use the mirror to check when you reach your ankle.
You can stop unrolling the tape when you get to the point where you want the hem of your trousers to be.
Remove the tape as you hold it where it touches your crotch. Be careful when doing this, so you alter your inseam, then you’d have to measure it all over again.
Jot down your inseam somewhere for future use.

If you cannot accurately measure your inseam, you can ask someone else to help you. Ensure to stand up straight and ask the person to measure from your crotch seam to the trouser’s hem.
