2: Get The Right Size
This step really depends on how you like your jeans to fit. Still, in most cases you want to size down with raw denim.
The reason for sizing down is that raw denim stretches about an inch in the waist with some wear. However, you are also safe to order true to size – your standard size – if you are willing to wear a belt.
Choosing the correct size should also help ensure that you don’t get crotch blowouts after only a few months of wear quickly. Crotch blowouts happen because this area of your jeans is likely to see the most tension – especially if you walk or ride a bicycle a lot. If you wear your jeans too tight or too low on the hips you will create even more tension, and destroy the fabric faster.
Choosing the correct size will vary from brand to brand, so be sure to XXX their size guide before you buy. You can also take a look at our guide on how to measure jeans.
