How wide is 21 cms for a bottom length of jeans?

[obsessis]

I know what it translates to in inches, 8.25, but i am wondering what other jeans are that size at the bottom? I am trying to figure out approx. how big a pair of jeans are with a 21 cm opening at the ankle, 22 below knee, 30 below crotch.

i just know that with 21cm .... for most of the shoes worn, you might be able to step on em and tear the bottom if its long enough

[obsessis]

are you sure? I thought that was pretty small, only 8.5 inches? maybe with 11 inches you could step on it.....

yep.. see those 21cm dior jeans selling at yahoo auction.. some have been step on at the bottom area.. same goes for ebay 21cm dior jeans that i seen

17 inch opening is a straight leg/small bootcut. I personally like 15-16 inch openings for the ankles.

that is circumference, not width, correct? I am talking width.

It depends what size the jeans are of course, and what shoes you are going to wear. If it's like size 34 it's not very big. Measure your other jeans to get an idea.

21 cm is a basic straight leg. the 19 cm is a slight taper. 21 cm would be equivalent to a levi 501 opening.

finally someone with half a brain.

21 = straight/501

19 = slight taper, slightly slimmer than 501

17 = getting skinny

15 = skinny

ok... so its measured straight across and not doubled, right? which would make 21cm=17" circumfrence/8 1/2" diamater.

denim is the new crack

[thomas_highstreet]

no.. forget about inches. measure your hem in cm straight accross.

no fancy shit.

just a rule/tape with cm.

[cheapmuthafukr]

ok... i thought so... i wish i could forget about inches. the 5 years i spent working on metric bridge projects were so easy, but floridas dot has gone back to inches. fucking barbarians.
