Pioneers Of Fit

For over 50 years, we’ve been learning what makes a great fit even better. From live fit models and wear testing to patterns we continually refine; every detail is considered with real women in mind. That expertise comes together in our Essential Denim, a collection of bestsellers made to fit beautifully into your wardrobe and your life.

Female empowerment is our policy at FDJ.

How To Measure Your Denim

The right fit begins with the right measurements. Use this guide to measure your waist, hips, and inseam accurately to help you find your ideal size with confidence.

MEASURE YOUR WAIST

Locate your natural waistline, the narrowest part of your torso between your ribs and hips. It is typically located just above your belly button. Maintain a relaxed posture while leveling the tape around your waist.

MEASURE YOUR HIPS

Wrap a flexible measuring tape around the widest part of your hips, ensuring it is parallel to the floor, to accurately measure your hip circumference.

MEASURE YOUR INSEAM

To measure your inseam, take a measuring tape and measure from the inner crotch seam to the bottom of your ankle bone/floor while standing upright with your legs slightly apart.

How To Care For Your Denim

Turn jeans inside out and machine-wash in cold water on a gentle cycle using mild detergent.

Hang jeans, smooth out any wrinkling and allow to air-dry.

Woes of dark denim bleeding dye?

Let your jeans take a luxurious 30-minute soak, then rinse and let them air-dry. Grab a bathtub or a bucket, pour in enough cold water to fully submerge your jeans, and sprinkle in 1 cup of white vinegar.
