Abstract
A revolutionary, new sizing and fitting system for jeans is based on the concept of shape, not size. This sizing and fitting system is organized around some basic body shapes categories: e.g., slight curve (straighter figure, flatter fanny), demi curve (evenly proportioned hip and seat) and bold curve (smaller waist, larger seat). To use the system, the consumer finds their shape using a shape measuring tool. The shape measuring tool calculates a shape category based on a differential of two measurements in the seat area. With this shape category information, the consumer can easily locate a pair of form-fitting jeans. The sizing and fitting system is also applicable to pants, shorts, skirts, and other clothing where form fit is desirable in the seat and hip area.

A system comprising:
- a first sizing classification for pants, corresponding to fit for a first differential value between first and second body measurements in a first range, wherein the first body measurement is at a first position of a person, and the second body measurement is at a second position relative to the first position;
- a second sizing classification for pants, corresponding to fit for a second differential value between first and second body measurements in a second range;
- and
- a third sizing classification for pants, corresponding to fit for a third differential value between first and second body measurements in a third range,
- wherein first pants of a given size in the first sizing classification has a first girth measurement at a first seat position at a first distance below a top of the pants and above a crotch of the pants,
- second pants of the given size in the second sizing classification has a second girth measurement at the first seat position at the first distance below the top of the pants and above a crotch of the pants,
- third pants of the given size in the third sizing classification has a third girth measurement at the first seat position at the first distance below the top of the pants and above a crotch of the pants, and
- the first, second, and third girth measurements of the pants is about the same,
- wherein first pants of the given size in the first sizing classification has a fourth girth measurement at a second position at a second distance below the top of the pants,
- the second distance is less than the first distance,
- third pants of the given size in the third sizing classification has a fifth girth measurement at the second position at the second distance below the top of the pants, and
