#200 Classic Tapered - 15.7oz

---

The #200 Classic Tapered runs small. The waist measures well under the tagged size, around 6cm tighter than the #100 Classic Straight in the same size, so most people will want to go up at least one. The rise sits lower than the #100, the thigh keeps some room and the leg tapers from the knee down to a narrow hem. It's slim, but not tight once the waist is right. The inseam is 79cm across every size, so it sits cleanly above boots without much hemming. The 15.7oz Classic denim is firm to start and the waist and seat give a little with wear, but not enough to save a pair that's too small. It's a one wash pair, so most of the shrinkage is already out. Before ordering, measure a pair you already wear well and compare it against the numbers below.

How we measure

Every figure is taken with the jeans laid flat and smoothed out, read in centimetres.

Waist

Measured across the waistband from edge to edge at the top of the jeans. We then double that number.

Front Rise

Measured from the crotch to the top of the waistband at the front centre of the jeans.

Rear Rise

Measured from the crotch to the top of the waistband at the rear centre of the jeans.

Thigh

From just below the crotch seam. Measure directly across the thigh from edge to edge of the fabric.

Hem

Measured across the hem at the base of the leg.

Inseam

Measured from the crotch seam to the bottom of the hem following the seam along the inside of the leg.
