Are men's and women's jeans sized differently?

Answer 1

Mens jeans tend to be universally sized in waist and length measurements (i.e.-a pair of jeans may be marked 32-30, the first number is the size of the waist and the second number is the length of the inseam on the jeans). On the other hand women's jeans tend to only have one number in the size (i.e.-a pair of jeans may be a size 6 and since there are no industry standards on women's jeans a size 6 from another company may be smaller or larger).
