Measure the waist width across the top of the waistband from one side to the other. This is a flat measurement so only needs to be taken on the front side of the shorts. The waistband should be buttoned at the front and the fly zipped closed before taking this measurement. Please measure a pair of shorts that does not have an elastic waistband.
Measure the hip width at the widest point (starting 7 inches below the top of the waistband) from one side to the other. This is a flat measurement so only needs to be taken on the front side of the shorts. The waistband should be buttoned at the front and the fly zipped closed before taking this measurement.
Measure the thigh width of one leg between the side seam and 3 inches below the crotch seam (where the inseams of each leg meet). This is a flat measurement so only needs to be taken on the front side of the shorts.
Measure the leg opening width across the bottom of the shorts hem from one side to the other. This is a flat measurement so only needs to be taken on the front side of the shorts and on one of the legs.
Measure from the top of the waistband to the bottom of the leg opening along one of the shorts side seams.
