Buying jeans online without trying them on first is a gamble most people have lost at least once. Here's how to get it right the first time with BLAKC's straight-fit black jeans.
Start with your actual waist, not your usual size
BLAKC jeans run true to waist size in inches, from 28 to 38. Measure around your natural waistline with a soft tape, not your favourite old jeans — denim stretches and shrinks over time, so an old pair can be misleading.
The inseam is fixed at 32 inches
Every size, from waist 28 to 38, has the same 32-inch inseam. If that's longer than you need, a tailor can hem it in ten minutes for a few hundred rupees. If you like a slight break at the ankle, 32 inches usually works without any alteration.
Between two sizes? Size up
The fit is a classic straight cut, not skinny, so there's a little room built in already. If your waist measurement falls between two sizes, go with the larger one. A slightly relaxed pair of jeans is comfortable; a tight one you can't wear.
Why the fabric matters for fit
The denim is 98% cotton and 2% spandex. That small amount of stretch means the jeans move with you through the day rather than staying rigid, and they hold their shape wash after wash instead of bagging out at the knees like pure cotton denim can.
