What is a step seam?

On labels of trousers of well-known brands, in order to simplify selection, not only the size is often indicated, but also the height and length of the pitch seam. The step seam is the seam of the trousers on the inside of the leg from the groin to the ankle. This measure determines the length of the product. The length of the step seam can be useful if you choose pants or jeans without fitting.

There are pants with lowered stitch seam. These are pants cut shalvara, Afghani, Aladdin, Beggi.

Additional sizes

Depending on height and leg length, the following additional sizes exist:

  • K - trousers for girls and women of small stature, approximately up to 165 centimeters, length of a step seam approximately 75 centimeters.
  • N is the average height from 165 to 172 centimeters, the length of the inner seam of the trousers is about 81 centimeters.
  • L- for ladies of high height from 172 centimeters, the length of the step seam is about 88 centimeters.

The presence of additional parameters in the form of size and length of the legs greatly simplifies the choice, buying trousers of the desired length can save money and not hem trousers in the studio.

Tips for choosing

It is better to prepare for going to the store for pants in advance, for this we take all the measurements that may be useful to us: waist girth, hips, length of the product. Select the model of interest and then study the label or ask for help from a consultant.

Advice: take two adjacent sizes into the fitting trousers at once, so you can immediately assess which one is better on the figure and is more comfortable. If you prefer to order clothes in online stores, pay special attention to taking measurements and determining the size of the tables of a particular store, they may differ from the generally accepted ones.
