What Is a Size 29 in Jeans in Inches?

By Staff WriterLast Updated March 30, 2020

Because of the vast disparity in sizing for clothing manufacturers, there is no standard waist measurement that coincides with a size 29 in jeans; a size 29 can mean a waist measurement of 28 inches up to 29.5 inches, generally. However, even this is not always true, with some manufacturers considering a size 29 smaller or larger.

The exact measurement of a size also depends on the cut of the jeans. Styles designed for curvier women will often be larger than straight or skinny styles, even though both may be labeled a size 29. It is always best for shoppers to try on jeans if possible to ensure the sizing is correct.
