Slim jeans require stretch fabric to be wearable through the thigh and knee without restricting movement. The taper from hip to ankle is the defining detail; getting it proportional to your specific leg requires knowing your actual thigh measurement. Custom-drafted, the taper is set for your leg rather than a standardized slim block.
