Denim Dictionary: Your Guide to Jean Fits
Step into your greatness. Since 1989, we've been dialing in premium denim made for motion, made for muscle, made for men who move different. But let’s keep it real—when you hit that denim collection and see names like Sean, Brian, Collins, and Ross, it’s not always clear what each fit really means. That’s where this guide comes in.
Welcome to the Denim Dictionary: your go-to breakdown of every essential Jordan Craig jean fit, so you can shop smart, stack right, and flex with confidence.
Ross Fit: The OG Taper
When in doubt, Ross it out. This is our everyday hero—a mid-rise, tapered leg that gives you shape without squeeze. The Ross fit starts with a relaxed thigh (room for squats and daily grind) then tapers below the knee to stack clean over your sneakers.
Why it works:
-
Roomy in the right places
-
Tapers for a clean, tailored look
-
Ideal for athletic and fuller builds
Style Vibe: Think "modern armor" meets motion. Pairs easily with cargos, bombers, and stacked boots.
Go-To For: Big guys, everyday flexers, and anyone who wants that balance of space and swagger.

Sean Fit: The Slim Sculptor
If you like your denim with a bit more bite, the Sean fit brings the heat. It hugs tighter through the thigh and tapers hard at the ankle. It's designed for the guy who likes his silhouette clean, modern, and sharp.
Why it works:
-
Slim through thigh and leg
-
Ankle taper = perfect stack
-
Great for streetwear layering
Style Vibe: Precision meets polish. Pairs dope with oversized tees, tech jackets, or under flannel layers.
Go-To For: Slim-fit lovers, minimalists, and dudes who style from the shoe up.
