Jeans Vendor, what is my size?

  If you’re a guy, then the circumference of your waist should be the pants size. From there, the different cuts/styles dictate fit of the rest of your body.

  If you’re a gal, the numbers mean nothing and it’s all a lie. Even within the same brand and style, the clothes will vary in size by color. Try them on.

    Even for guys the measurements don’t always line up. I’ve found that some brands are significantly bigger than the number would suggest.

      What I find very weird tbh.
      When I buy pants, there are essentially two measurements:
      In-seam length and waist circumference (and usually the manufacturer shows where to measure it in a picture).

      So far I had no issues shopping by pre-measuring before doing the online shopping.

    It depends on the manufacturer for me, Old Navy says I’m a 30 waist, which fits. Levi says I’m 34, which also fits. When I measured I’m a 32.

    Check this out. I tried all my old ripped 34W garage pants and here’s how many more inches I needed to close the button:

    Notice how two pants from the same brand, of the same style, non stretchy, are off by 2"!

      I see the problem…I came into the world fat and ugly. Now I’m all out of butter! And I’m still fat and ugly! LOL. And there’s nothing wrong with that except for being out of butter.

    Women’s sizes don’t mean jack shit. A die roll is more reliable

  My usual strategy:
  Go into the store, try it on, note the sizes of the company you want to buy from, buy wherever you want to (if you can, support your local company and not Amazon or adjacent)
