A size guide that opens on the product page, with garment and body charts

On a Taylor Stitch jeans page, the size guide opens over the product as a panel with two tabs. One tab holds the garment measurements for each size and the other holds body measurements, and a how-to-measure guide sits under the charts. The shopper never leaves the product to find the chart.

What we saw on the live page

  1. The guide is linked from the fit notes. Inside the Fit section, under the size buttons and the Add to Cart button, a line reads "Model is 6'1", wearing a Medium." The same list carries a "View Size Guide" link and a second link to the Bottoms Fit Guide.
  2. The panel opens over the page. It is titled "Size Guide", and two tabs sit under the title: Garment Size and Body Size.
  3. The garment chart runs by size. The table lists sizes 28 to 38 and gives waist, rise, thigh, knee and leg opening for each one.
  4. Measuring is explained in the same panel. A "How to Measure" section follows the table, with numbered steps and a diagram of the trousers. Step 1 covers the waist.

Why the placement helps

The guide sits beside the words that describe the cut, so a shopper reads the fit and the chart together. Nothing needs a separate page, and the chart can be read while the shopper is still choosing a size.

What to take to your own shop

  • Link to the size guide from the place where the fit is described, and name what it shows.
  • Split garment measurements from body measurements, so a shopper can compare a garment with their own body.
  • Put the how-to-measure steps in the same panel as the chart.

How to measure: waist
  1. Lay the pants flat, and button the waistband if it has a button.
  2. Measure along the center of the waistband from edge to edge, with the waist pulled flat but not stretched.
  3. Multiply that number by two.

Where to see it

The page is Democratic Jean in Rinsed Black Organic Selvedge on taylorstitch.com. We read it in a browser on 23 October 2026, without buying or contacting the store. The page code names the theme schema as Taylor Stitch Retail Web on Shopify, so the platform is confirmed. Stores change, so this describes that day only.
