Leg opening is my first question about trousers sold online; when a seller skips it, I assume the leg runs wider than it looks. I tailored a pen name, Logan W. Stanton, to suit this blog, and my eye for fit comes from reading, not a stylist's job. Stores rarely take back a hemmed pair, so be sure the waist fits before the legs get cut. Mail about wrong measurements goes to [email protected], and I read all of it.

Sit down in new jeans before you cut the tags.

Standing in a fitting room hides a tight waist or a rise that pulls; a minute of sitting and squatting shows both.
