outseam
Pants' outer seam
An outseam is the seam running along the outer side of a pant leg, from waist to hem.
It's the counterpart to the inseam, which runs along the inner leg.
Outseam measurements are less commonly referenced than inseam when sizing pants, but appear in tailoring and technical garment specifications.
