Michael Kors Finn Jeans Fit Guide: Straight Fit vs Stretch Denim

The Michael Kors Finn jeans fit is a men’s straight cut, sold in US waist and inseam sizes such as 32×32. Amaboxly lists four Finn versions: two named stretch denim and two named denim without the word stretch. Choose a stretch listing if you sit between waist sizes or want some give in the seat and thigh. Choose a non-stretch listing if you like firmer denim or want one of the blue washes.

Michael Kors Finn jeans fit: what the straight cut means

A straight fit generally means the leg keeps a similar width from the thigh down to the hem. A slim cut narrows toward the ankle, and a relaxed cut has more room all the way down. The listings spell it three ways (Straight-Leg, Straight-Fit and Straight Fit), and all four carry the Finn name.

This guide does not quote rise, thigh or leg opening measurements, so check the product page for those. If you already own straight jeans that fit well, they are your best reference. Lay them flat, measure them, and compare the numbers with the size you plan to order.

How US waist and inseam sizes work

Michael Kors mens jeans sizing uses the US two-number format. In a size written 32×30, the first number is the waist and the second is the inseam, both in inches. The inseam is the inside leg length, from the crotch seam down to the hem.

Across the Finn listings the waist options are 30, 32, 34 and 36, and the inseam options are 30, 32 and 34. Waists come in even numbers only, so anyone who usually wears an odd waist size has to go up or down. That is where the choice of fabric starts to matter.

To find your size, lay a pair of jeans that fits you flat with the button done up. Measure straight across the waistband and double the figure for the waist. Then measure the inside leg seam from crotch to hem for the inseam. Use the inch side of the tape so there is nothing to convert.

The four Finn listings side by side

All four Finn straight fit jeans are Pre-Order listings sourced from Michael Kors USA, priced from RM 319 at the time of writing. Confirm the price on the product page once you have picked a colour and size.

The Michael Kors Finn Straight-Leg Stretch Denim Jeans come in Black Rinse. They have the fuller size run of the stretch pair, with all four waists listed in each of the three inseams. The Michael Kors Finn Straight-Fit Stretch Denim Jeans come in Black, in five sizes: 32×30, 30×32, 34×32, 32×34 and 34×34.

On the non-stretch side, the Michael Kors Finn Straight Fit Denim Jeans offer four colours: Rinse, Dusk Blue Wash, Light Indigo Wash and Mid Blue Fade Wash. All twelve waist and inseam combinations are listed. The Michael Kors Finn Straight-Fit Denim Jeans come in one colour, Marshall, and the size list skips 30×34 and 32×34.

Size availability can differ by colour, so check that your size shows for the colour you want.

Stretch denim vs rigid denim: which to choose

The listing names tell you which pairs are sold as stretch denim. They do not give the exact fabric blend, so read the composition on the product page before you decide.

In general, stretch denim has some elastic fibre woven in. It gives when you sit or bend, and it usually feels soft from the first wear. Rigid denim has no stretch fibre. It feels firmer at first and tends to soften and shape to the body over time.

For sizing, stretch is the more forgiving choice. If your measured waist falls between a 32 and a 34, the smaller size in a stretch listing is often a reasonable starting point, because the waistband has some give. In a non-stretch listing the larger size is safer, since a slightly loose waist can be fixed with a belt and a tight one can’t.

Inseam works the same way in both fabrics, because stretch adds no length. A tailor can shorten a hem easily, and letting one down is much harder. If you are between two leg lengths, the longer inseam leaves you more options.

A slimmer option: Parker

If a straight leg sounds too wide, the Michael Kors Parker Slim-Fit Stretch Denim Jeans are named as a slim fit in stretch denim. They come in Bone, from RM 319, in the same waist and inseam format. The size list covers eleven combinations and skips 32×34.
