Start with your waist measurement and compare it to the Yoshimoto Nara jeans size chart. Decide the intended fit (skinny, straight, or relaxed) and check whether the fabric includes stretch. If you’re between sizes, choose the size that best matches your waist and inseam, noting that stretch denim can let you size down while non‑stretch denim may require sticking to true waist size. Review the return/exchange policy if you’re unsure.

Stretch denim changes how a pair feels and fits. If the fabric includes elastane, you can often size down for a snug initial fit because the denim will stretch with wear and recover. For very high stretch, avoid going down too many sizes, as the jeans may become baggy over time. Always compare your usual size with the chart’s stretch notes to guide your choice.

Yes. A first-time online buyer should rely on the size chart, inseam guidance, and the expected fit, while a returning customer can use past successful sizes and notes about wash and stretch to choose confidently. Compare with a similar style you own and consider starting with your standard size if you’re unsure.

Care for the fit by washing cold and air-drying whenever possible. Avoid high heat that can shrink or distort the fabric. If you have raw denim, expect some initial shrinkage after the first wash. Always follow the care label to preserve fit and color over time.

Use a soft tape measure and measure your natural waist at the narrowest point, then your hips at the widest point. Measure the inseam from the crotch to the ankle. Compare these numbers to the Yoshimoto Nara size chart in both inches and centimetres, and consider your typical wearing height and preferred leg length.

Avoid assuming sizes from another brand; don’t ignore rise and inseam, which can change the overall fit. Don’t overlook fabric stretch changes how the jeans will feel over time, and don’t rely on a single photo or model size. Always check the return options in case the fit isn’t right.
