Jeans measure (5)

I believe the answer is:

waist

(Other definitions for waist that I've seen before include "Between ribs and hips" , "Central part of body" , "Band may go round here" , "Part of the trunk" , "Narrow part of body" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal and the King Feature Syndicate.
