WHAT IS THE INSEAM, REALLY?
It’s easy to overlook. A single vertical measurement from crotch to hem — the inseam. But this one line controls more than you think: how your jeans stack, where they break, what they reveal, and how you move.
At KLSH, we treat inseam not as a default, but as a decision. And we give you the tools to make it yours.
WHAT IS THE INSEAM, EXACTLY?
Technically: it’s the distance from the crotch seam to the bottom hem, measured along the inside leg.
But practically? It’s the difference between:
-
A clean cuff above the ankle
-
A stacked silhouette over your sneakers
-
A perfect fall on your boots
-
A raw edge that hits mid‑calf
Inseam is how jeans end — and how they meet the ground tells you a lot about the person wearing them.
LENGTH CHOICES & FIT INTENTIONS
Most brands stick to standard lengths: 28" / 30" / 32" / 34".
But here’s how those numbers really land:
Inseam
|
Fit Feel | Style Vibe |
---|---|---|
28" | Cropped, ankle-showing | Clean, modern, layered |
30" | Fitted, light break | Tailored or tapered |
32" | Default length | Balanced, universal |
34"+ | Full stack | Streetwear, oversized, baggy |
Want stacked folds? Go long.
Want it cropped and clean? Go short.
Want it just right? We’ll cut it for you.
TYPES OF INSEAM FINISHES
We don’t just cut — we finish.
-
Clean Hem – Folded, stitched, reinforced. Durable and precise.
-
Raw Edge – Left open. Frays with time. Speaks street.
-
Frayed Cropped – Clean cut, left unfinished for lived-in feel.
-
Chainstitched – Classic rope effect hem seen in vintage jeans.
-
Double-Fold Utility – Slightly heavier; hangs sharper. Often used in workwear fits.
Every KLSH inseam is designed to match the attitude of the fit — not just your leg length.
THE BODY FACTOR: HEIGHT ISN’T EVERYTHING
The inseam you need isn’t just about how tall you are — it’s about how you wear your denim.
-
Want your jeans cropped above sneakers? Go one size down.
-
Want a deep stack at the ankle? Go one size up.
-
Want it exact? Ask us to cut it.
-
Need balance with a high waist or low crotch? We’ll align the proportion for you.
Fit is visual geometry. The inseam is one of its cleanest lines.
WHY KLSH OFFERS CUSTOM HEMMING
Because fit should be yours, not guessed.
When you order from KLSH, you can request a custom hem — whether you want it raw, cropped, stacked or stitched.
We offer complimentary hemming on selected jeans.
All you have to do is:
-
Choose your size and inseam preference
-
Select “Choose Your Lenght” at checkout
-
Add notes if you want raw edge, clean cut, or a specific measurement
Then we cut, finish, and deliver it your way — straight from our workshop.
How your jeans fall says everything.
Go stacked. Go cropped. Go raw.
And if your inseam doesn’t hit just right?
We’ll cut it, clean it, and send it back to you ready.
