Creating your first trousers with AI – Knee Width

You are creating your first LE CHEMISEUR® trousers with our AI and would like to check the knee width? This page is for you.

Best practice

The trousers must remain comfortable, even when seated with legs bent, without being too wide. We recommend leaving 3 cm of ease when, standing, you pinch the trousers at knee level.

The width of the trousers is measured near the knee but affects the width of the entire leg.

When to adjust

⚠️ Do not taper too much

One of our most frequent warranty returns comes from men who reduce the knee width but then feel uncomfortable after sitting for a long time. Trust the AI!

🏋🏻 You are athletic

If you have developed thighs or calves, you will need a little more width. Feel free to add 1 cm for comfort.

🧱 You are short and broad

We advise tapering the trousers (making the slimmer) to add length visually. The AI has already taken this into account, but you can still remove 1 cm if you wish.

🪜 You are tall and slim

We advise widening the trousers to add breadth visually. The AI has already taken this into account, but you can still add 1 cm if you wish.

Compare with a pair you already own

Fold the trousers in half up to the top of the waistband. Measure the full width without stopping at the seam.

Compare with trousers containing a maximum of 2 % elastane. If you measure a very stretchy “skinny” pair, be careful! LE CHEMISEUR® trousers are slightly stretch for comfort but keep a classic structure.
