In preparation for this afternoon’s Jutland Sew-Along post about fitting, I’ve created a handy chart to show you how to take all relevant measurements before choosing your size for any of our patterns. I’ve included it in this post rather than within the sew-along post because it was starting to become overwhelmingly long…and I really don’t want to scare you away from fitting your pants because it isn’t very difficult at all!
If you would like to refer to this chart when you need to measure a man in the future, just head on over to our website and you will find it in our Tutorials section!

This may a silly question, but my husband wears his pants several inches lower than his natural waist, should I measure the natural waist or where he likes his pants to fit?

measure both, Re-read #10 in diagrams, then use that info to choose a size and make your adjustments.

Thanks! Totally missed that. Makes total sense.

Yes 🙂 Measure both! The natural waist measurement takes precedence when choosing your size. Happy Sewing!

Thanks for helping 🙂 Yes, that is what I would recommend too!
