Amiri jeans sizing and why the waist runs small

Order your pair by waist inches and a flat measurement of your best jeans, not by the tag number you take in other denim. Guessing wrong gets expensive when amiri.com lists 37 men's jeans from $960 to $6,110 CAD. The brand site allows returns only within 10 days of delivery, takes no markdown pieces back, and offers no direct exchanges.

The boutique that holds the 34 pairs on within takes a harder line: all sales are final, so an ill fitting waist stays yours. Take a tape measure across your waistband before you enter a card number.

What Amiri's size chart measures from 28/29 to 40

The Amiri size chart and fit notes map every denim tag to a smaller waist measurement. On the official chart, size 28/29 pairs with a 27 1/2 inch waist and size 40 pairs with a 37 inch waist. Every single size lists a 34 inch inseam.

Denim size 34 corresponds to a 32 inch waist, while size 36 pairs with 33 1/2 inches.

At size 32/33, the chart sets waist circumference at 30 1/2 inches. The chart gives 77.5 cm for that measurement, with hips at 37 1/2 inches.

Why you measure a pair flat instead of ordering your usual tag

Amiri's guide does not say whether its waist is the body or the garment (which is why a flat measurement of your own jeans is the check). Mike Amiri founded the label in Los Angeles in 2014 with denim at its core. His first store opened on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills in 2020.

The Amiri designer page names the cuts: extra wide, skinny, carpenter style and kick flare. Denim remains the centre of the line, with 37 men's pairs on amiri.com priced between $960 and $6,110 CAD. Eleven of those pieces are MX1 jeans running from $1,390 to $6,110 CAD.

Our note on why Amiri costs what it does covers those four figure prices. When you pay $1,390 or more for denim, guessing your waist size is not an option. Lay a pair you own flat, measure straight across the waistband, and double that number.

How MX1 skinny, carpenter, flare and baggy pairs sit on the shelf

Independent boutique Utopia holds 34 pairs of Amiri jeans from $450 to $1,200 CAD on the Toronto Amiri jeans shelf. Every waist from 29 to 34 is there, plus 36 and 38, in 4 to 7 listings each. The listings group into skinny, MX1, flare, bootcut, carpenter, baggy and stack cuts.

By the listings' own words, 6 skinny or MX1 pairs sit at $450 to $1,000 CAD, and 2 stack pairs at $500 to $800 CAD. One is the pre owned Amiri MX1 Skinny Jeans Blue at $450 in waist 33. Another is the pre owned Amiri Stack Jeans Black at $500 in waist 32.

Then 7 carpenter pairs sit at $500 to $1,000 CAD, with 5 flare or bootcut pairs at $450 to $1,000 CAD. Another 2 baggy pairs run from $500 to $600 CAD. These include the new Amiri Denim Carpenter Jean Light Indigo at $600 in waist 29.

On Amiri's own chart, a size 32 is a 30 1/2 inch waist.

Common questions

Do Amiri jeans run big or small?

Amiri jeans run small because the waist measurement on the brand chart is smaller than the denim tag number. A tagged size 32 pairs with a 30 1/2 inch waist, which sits 1 1/2 inches below the number on the label. Order according to a flat tape measurement of your best fitting jeans rather than your usual tag size.

What size is 32 in Amiri jeans?

A size 32 in Amiri jeans corresponds to a US medium or IT/EU 48 with a 30 1/2 inch waist and a 34 inch inseam. In metric measurements, that 30 1/2 inch waist equals 77.5 cm alongside a 37 1/2 inch hip. That waist circumference measures 1 1/2 inches smaller than the 32 printed on the denim tag.

Are Amiri jeans true to size?

Amiri jeans are not true to size because every tagged denim size on the brand chart measures smaller at the waist than the label indicates. Size 34 corresponds to a 32 inch waist, while size 36 pairs with a 33 1/2 inch waist. You should measure your best fitting waistband flat before buying rather than relying on your standard tag number.

Do Amiri jeans fit skinny?

Only some do. Amiri cuts its jeans extra wide, skinny, carpenter style and kick flare, so the leg follows the model. On the shelf, by the listing's own words, 6 skinny or MX1 pairs sit at $450 to $1,000 CAD.

Do all Amiri jeans fit the same?

Not in the leg, which changes with the cut. Amiri's size guide gives one chart for its bottoms, and on it sizes 32 and 33 share a 30 1/2 inch waist.
