Things You'll Need
- Tape measure
Instructions
Using measuring tape, find your waist and inseam measurement. Measure your waist at the smallest part. The inseam is the measurement from the crotch of the pants to the floor.
Compare your measurements to the manufacturer's sizing chart. In general, your waist size will be the size of the breeches. For example, if you have a 30-inch waist, you'll buy a size 30 in breeches. However, this can vary, so double-check.
Consider the length of the breeches. Some breeches are made with an exact inseam, in which case you'll want to choose the inseam that matches your measurement. Others simply offer "regular" and "long" sizes. If you are a woman over 5-foot-6 or a man over 5-foot-9, you should order the long size.
