Hello!
They run on the thinner / lighter side in weight and material feel. They are truly my ideal pair of denim.

Could you post flat waist & (at widest) hip measurements for the 30 & 31's? THANKS!
Habits
Hello, The flat lay for the 30 is waist 34" Hips is 40" . Measurement for 31 is waist 36' hips 41". Hope that helps.
Oh hello, I ordering since this is unisex, what the sizing might be like..: if I’m normally a medium/8 womans?
JUDITH
Hi!
Since this item is unisex, it does run slightly large with a boxy & relaxed cut, but it is not extremely oversized.
Based on the info you've provided, you could wear the medium for a more relaxed fit (with room for layering) or the small for a closer fit.
Hope this helps!
Erik & team JUDITH
Hi, may I know the model's height? Thanks!
Habits
Hello, 5'8". She is a size XS.
I usually wear a 27 (size 4) in most jeans. I am 5"4" and weigh 12lb. What size would you recommend?
Habits
If you are a size 4 I would recommend the 26. The model is a size 2 and is wearing the 25. You can see that they are a bit loose, which is the style. The 27 might be too big unless you like baggy.
Hi! Would you mind sharing the waist and hip measurements for the size 28? Thanks!
finefolk
hello!
waist: 30"-30.5"
rise: 9.5"
hips: approx 36"-37"
the hips is a very approximate number because it all depends on if the style is being worn as a high-waisted or lower with the waistband on the hip.
i hope this helps!

How many buttons on the fly: 4 or 5?

Hi there!
They say true to size but I find with a few of my Chimala I size down. What do you think for this style? Thank you!!
Roztayger
Hi ! :) with this one true to size is accurate :)
hello! what size is shown on the model? Can you post the measurements for the size 25 (waist, rise, hip)? Thanks!
finefolk
hello! the model is wearing the 26.
waistband: 31.5"
rise: 11.75"
it is very difficult to measure the hip as chimala styles fit differently on everyone. many of our customers will size down to wear them more as a high-waisted jean, then size up in another style (usually this style) and wear the waist a bit low-slung on the hip.
please let us know if you have any other questions! and thank you for your inquiry!
best-

Hi! Is it possible to get the waist and hip measurement for the size 28? Thank you!

Roztayger
