Stan Ray Pants Fit Guide | AW25

Stan Ray has been making hard-wearing pants since 1972, with roots in American workwear and a reputation for straight-up functionality. Over time, those same cuts, originally built for painters, carpenters, and the military, have been reimagined as everyday staples, worn by everyone from skaters to designers.

This guide runs through the core Stan Ray fits, breaking down how they sit on the waist, fall through the leg, and what each was made for. From the wide silhouettes of the Big Job Painter Pant to the sharper lines of the Taper 5 Jean, it’s a simple way to find the pair that works best for you.

OG Painter Pants
The Originals - Loose, straight-leg fit with plenty of room in the thigh and a mid-to-high rise. Originally designed for painters and carpenters, they feature utility pockets and hammer loops. A workwear classic turned everyday staple for those who like a roomy, relaxed look.

80s Painter Pants
A trimmer version of the OG Painters, with a slightly narrower leg and a higher rise. Inspired by Stan Ray’s cuts from the 1980s, they balance vintage style with practicality. Great for someone who wants the painter pant details but with a trimmer silhouette.

Big Job Pants
Extra-roomy, oversized fit with a wide leg and higher rise. Built for tough work and maximum mobility, they’re the boldest take on Stan Ray’s Painter Pant lineage. Best for those who like exaggerated proportions or want a true statement workwear look.

Double Knee Pants
Relaxed, straight fit with reinforced panels at the knees, mid-to-high rise. Originally built for durability on job-sites, they’ve become a streetwear and skate staple. For those who want rugged toughness with a classic loose work pant feel.

Taper 5 Jeans
Mid rise, roomy in the thigh, tapering to a narrower hem. A modernized workwear jean that balances comfort with a sharp finish. Great for those who like vintage denim details but prefer a slimmer fit at the ankle.

Standard 5 Jeans
Mid rise, regular fit with a straight leg - the most balanced of Stan Ray’s denim cuts. Easy to wear and versatile, drawing on classic American five-pocket jeans. Best for someone who wants a dependable, everyday jean.

Wide 5 Jeans
High rise with a loose, wide fit through the thigh and leg. A denim take on Stan Ray’s heritage of relaxed work silhouettes. For fans of vintage-inspired, roomy jeans with a true workwear feel.

Utility Pants
Straight fit, relaxed but not overly wide, with a mid rise. Designed as a multipurpose work pant with climbing pant roots, they offer durability and everyday versatility. Perfect for someone who wants something functional and sturdy without going too oversized.

K Pants
Roomy through the thigh, tapering slightly towards the hem with a mid rise. A military-inspired fatigue pant with big patch pockets, originally built for utility but now a casual essential. Ideal for someone who wants a looser fatigue with a contemporary twist.

A Pants
Similar to K Pants but with a cleaner, straighter cut and a more standard rise. Based on U.S. Army pants, they’re minimal, versatile, and easy to style. A solid everyday option for someone who likes a classic workwear look without excess volume.

Fat Pants
Relaxed fit throughout with a high rise and slightly loose leg. A classic fatigue-inspired silhouette updated for modern tastes, perfect if you want a comfortable, vintage workwear look with a contemporary edge.

Major Cargo Pant
Loose, baggy, and voluminous with a mid rise and roomy thigh. Features functional cargo pockets and drawstrings at the hem for adjustable styling. A utility-inspired pant with a relaxed, statement-making silhouette.
