Sizing Information
We measured a sampling of these jeans of different waist sizes and lengths and find they are much like other jeans you’d buy these days. They are just a bit “vanity” sized in the waist and pretty true in the length. Across the size run, the actual measured waist was about 1-2” larger than the stated waist size (which is typical vanity sizing). So my primary advice would be to buy the waist size you normally wear in jeans; you’ll likely find a fit. The inseam lengths measured out about right as compared to the stated size.
If you aren’t sure whether your jeans are vanity sized like I’m describing, then either measure your waist where your normal jeans ride or measure your favorite pair of jeans to verify. You’ll probably find that you measure out a bit bigger than your normal jeans size and also the waist of your favorite jeans measures out an inch or two bigger than their stated size. If so, you will be on track following my advice.
Our Two Cents
The Noru Kodo pants are a slightly stretchy riding jean with additional accordion stretch panels at the knees and waist for maximum comfort. They have CE level 1 knee armor included and zipped vents on both thighs will keep you cool in hot weather.
