See the tips below for measuring to ensure the best fit for your custom softball pants. Please measure carefully. While we will always accept returns for manufacturer's defects, we cannot accept returns due to improper fit for custom products such as Rover's Black Label softball pants. "I put on extra weight from eating pizza and drinking beer." is not a valid reason for returning a custom-fitted pant.
WHY GOING BY JEAN SIZE DOESN'T WORK: Jean companies (and most pant manufacturers) often size up the waist on their pants. (The label says 36 but the pant waist measures 38 or even 40.) Lay them flat and measure across the waist and compare it to the tag and then to your waist measurement --- double that number to get the true waist measurement, and you'll probably be surprised at the difference. And this is why for a proper fit in our custom-made softball pant program, because if you ask for a 36, we make a 36. So if you're really a 40 -- it's going to be tight.
Waist Circumference
Best way is to take a pair of pants that fit like you want. Lay them flat, and measure across the waist. Double it, and order that size.
Or if you want to actually measure: Place the measuring tape around the body at the waistline where you normally wear your pants. Pull the measuring tape so it fits to your body, but don't pull it tight. Give yourself a little room based on how you like your pants to fit. We'll make them to the exact size selected --- so if your weight tends to fluctuate, take that into account.
Inseam Length
Remove your shoes, and measure on the inside of the leg, from the crotch of your pant to the floor. Measure both legs & give us the longer one. The fit of the pant ordered will be designed for these measurements. The exact measurement based on this will give you a pant that gathers at the top of your cleat. If you want more or less "gathering", then adjust accordingly.
Thigh Circumference(optional)
First of all: Most players do not need to provide a thigh measurement. 99% of players will get a baggy or relaxed fit without needing to measure thighs. So don't worry if you don't have these measurements. The exception would be someone who is doing major weightlifting, and has monster-thighs like tree trunks. |

: Measure from mid-knee to the hip bone. Go to the halfway point, and measure around the thigh. Pull the tape so it conforms to your thigh, snugly but not too tight. Measure both thighs, give us the larger one. We'll pick the appropriate cut so that you'll have a roomy fit at the thigh.
NOTE: These measurement guidelines are designed for the "average" player. If your body type is outside of the typical player's, please adjust your measurements accordingly, to get a proper fit.
