Size requirements may vary.
For an accurate fit, measure the outside length of the user’s leg (“outseam”), from the top of the hip down past the top of the work boot. The correct length should cover the top of the boot ending between the 2nd and 3rd lace point. Choose the size above that most closely matches your outseam measurement.

All Pants come in 4 waist measurements:

• Small 30–32"
• Medium 34–36"

And 2 inseams:

• 34"

Custom pant sizing is available for an additional fee.
The correct length should cover the top of the boot ending between the 2nd and 3rd lace point.
