THE PERFECT DENIM
WHICH JEANS AND CUTS SUIT ME?
THE FIT
Regular Fit
The all-rounder
Basics
The Regular Fit is considered a classic among jeans styles. This model features a straight leg and fits slightly tighter on the thighs and looser at the knee. The cut is perfect if you want your jeans to be casual and not too tight, but not too wide either.
Type
Regular Fit is perfect for those with strong builds and a bit of a tummy, as the straight silhouette balances out the proportions of the legs and torso. The cut offers good freedom of movement and perfectly conceals problem areas thanks to the looser-fitting fabric.
Occasions
Regular Fit jeans are suitable for casual looks for leisure time or in the office. In a dark wash, this style also pairs well with a white shirt and a dark jacket. Did you know: The most famous Regular Fit jeans are the classic “501s" from Levis. These are still the best-selling jeans to this day.
Modern Fit
The Figure Hugger
Basics
Modern Fit is a cut that is close-fitting but not too tight. This cut fits slightly tighter on the leg, making this model perfect for styling with rolled up cuffs. If the trousers have stretch, this body-hugging look also offers optimal freedom of movement and comfort.
Type
Modern Fit jeans are suitable for tall men with slim, athletic legs. But the cut is also well suited for men with shorter legs, as the straight cut visually lengthens the body. What matters most here though is your personal preference for a body-hugging cut.
Occasions
Modern Fit jeans are great for all kinds of outfits and can be adapted perfectly to any style. Pair with casual shirts and sweatshirts for a relaxed and casual look, or dress up dark wash models with a shirt, jacket and business lace-ups for a perfect office outfit.
TOP JEANS BRANDS FOR BIG & TALL
RAW DENIM
Authentic and rough – when we talk about raw denim, we mean those dark blue, unwashed jeans. What many people don't know is that the original raw denim has an eggshell off-white hue before it is dyed indigo blue.
HIGH STRETCH DENIM
Freedom of movement, exceptional wearing comfort and a perfect fit – this is the luxury offered by the innovative materials from EUREX and PIERRE CARDIN (Hi-FLEX). The excellent stretch properties make the denim durable and dimensionally stable.
BLACK AND GREY DENIM
Rocking or elegant – black denim is dyed completely black and, depending on the finish, looks either elegant or rough and rocking with used effects. When washing, turn these trousers inside out to prevent the colour from bleeding too much and to maintain the rich tone.
TIPS FOR BUYING
JEANS SIZES
Jeans are usually not labelled with the standard clothing sizes XXL-8XL, but with the abbreviations W and L.
W stands for Waist, meaning the width of the waistband. The abbreviation L stands for length. This indicates the inseam length of the trousers. Length and Waist measurements are given in inches. 1 inch corresponds to 2.54 centimetres.

TIPS & TRICKS
DENIM – WASH IT OR PUT IT IN THE FREEZER?
Frequent washing is not good for denim. It is better to put your jeans into cold storage for about 24 to 48 hours. Keeping your jeans in the freezer compartment of your fridge helps to maintain their shape and keep them fresh. Bacteria that don’t mind a washing temperature of 30 to 40 degrees do not like sub-zero temperatures at all, so the jeans will be fresh and also smell clean again. If the jeans have stains or you have worn them often, washing at 40 to 60 degrees (see care label) is the best choice.
Use our Click and Collect service and pick up your jeans directly from a shop near you. You can try your jeans on then and there and, if necessary, change them for the correct size right away. Our fashion advisors are looking forward to your visit. Don‘t have a store near you. No problem. Exchanging items is also very easy and you will receive another size without any extra shipping costs.
When making this decision, it is important to take note of the material. Pure cotton denims or denims with a high cotton content are better bought one size larger, as they shrink a little more. Denims with spandex and polyester content, on the other hand, can be bought in the size you calculated earlier. They retain their size even after washing.
The fit of a pair of jeans is particularly important. If you buy denim online, our size guide will help you find the right fit. Nevertheless, even when you buy the same brand, jeans always turn out a little bit different. So feel free to use our Click and Collect service and try on the trousers when you collect them from one of our branches. With our alteration service, we can easily adjust the length of the trousers for you. But you might also find the perfect alternative right there in store. Do you prefer to get advice right from the beginning and put your trust in the expertise of our advisors? Then we look forward to your visit to one of our branches.
