Cruel Girl Women's Size Guide
Cruel Girl Women’s
The number on a Cruel tag is two numbers: your waist in inches, then the junior size.
A 28/5 is a 28″ waist, which they also call a junior 5. Buy on the waist inch and the junior number takes care of itself. Cruel Denim call the fit on nearly everything “Runs True to Size”, so there is no size-up or size-down rule to work around.

Cruel Girl is part of the Cinch group and now trades as Cruel Denim. They do publish a women’s size chart and a denim fit guide on crueldenim.com, but only as picture files — there are no measurements in text anywhere on their own site, and neither cruelgirl.com nor cinchjeans.com carries a Cruel Girl chart in numbers. We are not going to retype figures off an image and stand behind them, so everything above is what Cruel state in writing. Cruel do not publish what their S, R, L and XL inseams measure. Ring us and we will put a tape on the pair in the shop.
