Frequently Asked Questions
The Product & Sizing
How does your sizing work?
All our trousers are made and delivered to you with an adjustable waistband and tailored with a 5 cm/2 inch turn up. The waistband makes it possible to adjust your waist size up or down for a personalised fit. You can unfold the turn up for extra length simply by removing the stitches holding it up, without the need to visit your own tailor. There is also 8 cm/3 inches extra fabric hidden in the hem, should you need to personalise your trouser length further, please use the Boyant size guide to find out which size will be perfect for you.
What’s the range of the waist size?
We offer The First Cut in five different sizes: extra small (XS), small (S), medium (M), large (L) and extra large (XL). Take a look at the Boyant size guide to choose the perfect fit for you and to see the exact measurements.
What size should I buy?
If you are not sure of what size you should buy, please take a look at the Boyant size guide and measure your waist and compare to the guide. If you are in between two sizes we recommend you to buy the smaller one. We generally recommend that the buckle in the waistband should attach to the mid or outer hole initially, as this will make room for the fabric to expand.
Regarding the length, you can easily personalise the length of the trousers, see under FAQ “Is it possible to extend the length of the trousers?”.
Is it possible to extend the length of the trousers?
Yes, it’s possible to extend the trousers’ length. One option is that you can easily remove the stitches that are sewn to keep the turn up in its place and fold down the turn up. The trousers will then be 5 cm longer, now without a turn up.
In addition to this, another option is to use the extra 8 cm/3 inches extra fabric which is folded inside the trousers’ hem. If you unfold the extra fabric, you can extend the length of the trousers and still keep the turn up. You can then adjust and choose another height of the turn up, for example 3 cm instead of the regular 5 cm turn up.
How do I adjust the turn up?
See under FAQ “Is it possible to extend the length of the trousers?”.
Do I have to visit my tailor to adjust the length of the trousers?
It’s up to you. Please see under FAQ “Is it possible to extend the length of the trousers?”. Boyant will always recommend you to visit your tailor if you’re not sure how to make the adjustment.. Please note that if you’ve altered the trousers they are not eligible for a return or exchange.
Do I have to wash the trousers at the dry cleaner?
No, all trousers can be washed in a washing machine, however we do recommend hand washing. Please follow the washing instructions on the care label inside your trousers.
Does the trouser shrink during laundry?
The fabric may shrink up to 4% after a wash in a washing machine. But don’t worry, the trousers will expand when you use them again. If you don’t wash your trousers according to the washing instructions, the trousers may shrink more than 4%.

We recommend you to make a new order at the same time (or before) you return your delivered trousers to ensure your wanted size is still available. This means that you haven’t got your refund for your returned trousers yet, but instead of waiting for the first trousers to be returned to and then the new size or model delivered to you, you’ll get your new trousers quicker, within our regular delivery terms. Your refund for the original order will be processed when the trousers are returned and after a few transaction days.
Otherwise, if no hurry, just return your trousers and await your refund to then make your new order with the right size, fabric or model for you.
