Does the rise for jeans low, mid, and high change based on their size?

[turtleswares17]

So I've noticed lately with smaller sized Womens jeans that if they say the rise on the jeans, often times they will say high rise on the jeans tags but will only come out to a rise of 9 inches, and based on the pictures they definitely look to be high rise jeans, but according to ebays definition of high rise for womens it needs to be greater than 10.5 inches, I've looked online and some websites say 9 to 11 inches is high rise some Say atleast 10 inches, and ebay at greater than 10.5 inches, now all this has got me thinking that for every size of jeans the definition of its low, mid, and high rise will be different, so say a 9 inch rise is high for a size 25, but that may be considered low rise for a plus size pair of jeans, possibly. There will be a lot I have to learn and practice remembering for listing items if this is the case, But im up for the challenge. Any answers are appreciated

It would be more important to my mind to put the actual measurements, including hip and waist(band)  plus rise plus length.

Buying online is difficult since no tryons are possible and clothing manufacturers seem to choose sizes with a dartboard.

And put the measurements in the Condition line since that appears right under the Title in italics. This is FREE and as effective as paying for a sub-title to my mind.

Measurements should also be in the Description of course and if there are Item Specifics that allow it, repeat them there.

Measurements, measurements and when you have that done, more measurements!

Appreciate the answer but thats not my main question, I've got measurements in my pictures which is fine for now, I want to be able to say whether my jeans are low Mid or high rise and be able to say it accurately in my listings so as not to confuse buyers, so do they change based on the jeans size like the last example I listed?

It makes sense that the low, mid & high rise in actual inches would vary with the sizes as you have a different amount of material.

If you google enough you may find size charts showing the difference in inches for each rise depending on size.

@turtleswares17  Yes, the rise will very depending upon the size of the jeans, because it has to do with scale and 'drape' (i.e.,  how the fabric fits over the hips). Having said that, it will not vary tremendously from one size to the next (though may from one size classification to the next - i.e., junior versus plus size) so you'll still be in the ballpark for high/medium/low rise if you're in the same size range.  "High rise" for a size 22 plus-size jeans will be different than a misses size 6, for instance.

When I do sell jeans, one rule of thumb for misses jeans is to look at the proportions of waist and hips. For high rise in any size jeans, the waist and the hips will have a greater difference (tailoring standards are roughly 10"), low rise you may see no more than a 7" difference between the two.

Juniors and men's jeans are a different issue - they both tend to have a 7" difference between waist and hips even with higher rise (I've worn junior and men's all my life so can say this is true).

Yeah, probably not too helpful, but hopefully it'll give some direction. TBH, I just avoid that whole question and put the rise height in the description (as the others say - measurements!!).

I always stick to manufacturer's specs and description. If it's not specified low, med or high rise, I skip it as well. The measurements in the listings are good enough. The rise in inches differs in different sizes, but not by much. I would agree with EBay that high rise is over 10.5". It applies to smaller sizes also.

“…I've got measurements in my pictures which is fine for now,”

You may be leaving money on the table if you do not include the measurements in any of the listing fields. That’s because information that is available in the Title, Item Specifics and Description can be included in a shopper’s Search results. Someone searching for a certain pant inseam, for example, may not find your listing in their results.

In addition, clothing measurements in the listing body may speak to the quality of the listing. The more thorough the details, the more likely you will find your listing picked up by Google and other outside Search engines. (For more on Search Engine Optimization (SEO), see link below.)

PS—For those Techies: Google has made  strides in using character recognition to scan images for content, but there is still much debate on its accuracy when doing so.  So whether at this time it can read the right measurement off a tape measure in a photo is questionable. Be certain and put the values in the listing too.

That was a bad statement on my part. I agree I put the rise and iseam in item specifics always, and on mens jeans all of the measurements in title and item specifics and pictures. as for the waist womens jeans are tricky because of the way they hit on the hip some jeans may have a different size on the tag than what's the waist measurement comes to even with brand new jeans, which feels like it would be confusing if I say the jeans are both Size say 26 and size 28 both because of the measurements I have taken are different, it would seem easier to put the tag size ( if the waist is not obviously stretched out) and pictures of the waist so they can see their is a difference in measurements but not something on the listing stating there is a difference in size. You could put the tag Size in the description but If it's in the title already and in the description it says to look in the pictures for measurements that should be suffice people usually read the title before description (usually). One of my goals is to start purchasing items that don't need too much extra going into the listing and they still sell quickly and without a return, ofcourse there will be some that don't read hardly anything and purchase the item then end up having to return but I can't assume if I had measurements in 1 or 2 more spots than the several I already put them in, that the 1 rare customer would have not returned the item, it may be a lot of extra work for very little reward. If my ebay store was much more high quality pieces $50 and up I feel it may be worth taking the time to update any extra spots you could put measurements.
