Sizing conventions vary by brand and by cut — this table shows the standard published conversion. Always check the garment's own size chart when one is available. See how these tables are compiled.
Flip the men's chart around and a EU 91 waist lands on a US/UK 36in — worth having on hand when a European denim brand's product page only publishes the centimetre figure.
Because European men's jeans sometimes print rise and inseam in centimetres rather than the two-number US inch format, converting the waist alone isn't the whole picture — checking the brand's own leg-length figure against a US inseam measurement avoids ordering a pair that's the right waist and the wrong length.
Frequently asked questions
Is inseam length part of this EU-to-US jeans conversion?
No — this conversion covers waist only. Men's inseam length varies by brand and isn't standardised the way waist circumference is, so check that figure separately on the retailer's own size chart.
