قياس طول البنطلون الداخلي (الإنزيم)

Inseam is the length of the inner leg, from the crotch seam down to the bottom of the hem. The easiest accurate method is to lay a pair of well-fitting pants flat and measure from the crotch seam to the hem along the inside leg. You can also measure on your body, as explained in the steps above.

Stand barefoot with your back to a wall and feet shoulder-width apart. Slide a hardcover book up between your legs, snug against the crotch, mark the top edge of the book on the wall, then measure from the floor to the mark. Most men's inseams fall between about 28 and 36 inches.

Use the same method as for men: floor to crotch while standing barefoot, or crotch seam to hem on pants that fit well. Women's inseams commonly run from about 26 inches (petite) to 34 inches (tall), with regular often around 30 to 32 inches, but this varies by brand.

Lay the garment flat, smooth out wrinkles, and measure from the crotch seam to the bottom of the leg opening along the inner seam. For jeans, measure after washing because denim can shrink slightly. Shorts commonly have inseams of about 5, 7, 9 or 11 inches.

As a rough guide, inseam is about 45% of your height, so a person who is 70 inches (5'10") tall often needs an inseam around 31 to 32 inches. Fit, rise and how much break you like in the pant leg change this, so measuring pants you already like is more reliable. Use the height matcher in the calculator above.

The break is the fold that forms where the hem rests on your shoe. No break means the hem just touches the shoe, half break has a slight fold, and full break has a deeper fold. More break needs a slightly longer inseam. The calculator above includes a break selector.

Stand barefoot with your feet about 6 to 8 inches apart and your back to a wall. Press a hardcover book firmly upward between your legs, like a saddle, mark the top edge on the wall, and measure from the floor to the mark. This bike inseam is used to compare against a frame's standover height.

Inseam is measured along the inside of the leg from the crotch to the hem. Outseam is measured along the outside of the leg from the top of the waistband to the hem, so it is longer. See our outseam measurement guide for details.
