Waist and inseam sizes when thrifting pants online.
I use Poshmark to thrift for jeans sometimes. Since I can't try them on before buying them, and also have to look out for vanity waist sizing, I can only buy pairs that have photos of waist laying flat and inseam measurements included. I learned this the hard way, hemming isn't cheap.
1. How do you measure your waist and inseam for yourself and get a reasonably accurate result? Or should I go to a professional tailor and have them measure for me?
2. Once you have that info, how do you bridge your actual waist circumference with a WLF measurement? Especially with how the pants' rise can affect the fit. (See example photos.)
3. How important is knowing the front rise measurement? Some listings include it, some don't.
Cheers
