That's amusing

Judge by Levis. I wear 33 regular fit Levis and they're a little loose in the waist. Dockers - I could probably fit into a 32 as the 33s are really loose...loose enough to need a belt for sure. In any case, everyone should have known this (interesting to have the numbers though).

I'm scared. I regularly wear 40-42 old navy pants :/

I don't have time to read this, I have to be at the gym in 26 minutes.

a true 36 is too fat.
so these fake 36 pants are super fat.

waiting for the class action suit of "I thought I was not gaining weight since I kept fitting into a size 36.

Cotton shrinks. Looser weaves tend to be cheaper. Cheaper pants tend to shrink more. Most manufacturers build it into the sizing.

I feel better now about having had to go from 30 to 32 in the last couple years. If I lose the paunch like I want to I'll still be able to fit in 30s, though I tend to lean upward anyway because I need all the room in the crotch I can get.

...

I'm not worried, I don't wear pants.

You sound fat.

I just buy pants online anymore. Stores don't carry anything below a 32".

I wear 40's so they are loose and that makes my fat ass feel better. Don't mess with my denial.

kidsizedcoffin: I'm not worried, I don't wear pants.

this

As someone who has a 39 ab circumference (not the size of my pants), a 36 inch pant means you're a fatty. Unless you're 6'5"

A 36" waist is a fatass, isn't it. Well maybe not a fatass, but at 6'0" I didn't have a flat stomach with a 36" waist.

/ back down to my proper 34"

so those size 48s I used to wear were actually 50s?

/down to 36 or 38 depending what you believe

UberDave: I could probably fit into a 32 as the 33s are really loose...loose enough to need a belt for sure.

All pants require belts, whether or not they are required to keep the pants up.

Jesus farking christ. A 30 foot waist, 36 foot inseam, but you're only 6 foot 1 and 147. You need to see a doctor. Or somebody at the Guiness Book.

I just wish they cut clothes for people who lift. 38" waist, held up with a belt, because any smaller pants and it feels like my quads are being squeezed by a pair of denim-skinned anacondas. Baggy fit sometimes gets me into a smaller waist.

If there's one thing about being built funny I don't like it's shopping for clothes.

Do they do that for every size? Are my 46s really 49s?!

jingks: A 36" waist is a fatass, isn't it. Well maybe not a fatass, but at 6'0" I didn't have a flat stomach with a 36" waist.

/ back down to my proper 34"

I'm 6'0", my Levis are 36/34, and while I don't have washboard abs, I'm not a fatass. If a 36 is fat, pass me the bacon grease and cheeseburgers because I don't want to be thin.

there is no way those are fitting you properly. that or you like having 4 folds of jeans sitting on top of your shoes.

what the stuff?!

im six foot one and 185 pounds
I can still fit into a 34
but if my metabolism slows any more i'll have to bump it up to 36

Im far from being anywhere close to whats considered "fat"

Is this the thread where us skinny folk bash the fat folks

The last time I saw 36w on a pair of Levi's I was in danger of toppling over in a swift breeze.

Hee! No. I'm just built like a Vaughn Bode cartoon.

uofacats2004: there is no way those are fitting you properly. that or you like having 4 folds of jeans sitting on top of your shoes.

I'm 6 foot with shorter than average legs and I have a 32 inch inseam. I could see someone 6'1" having a 36 inch inseam.

6'1" 225, size 40 right now, but they is HUUUUUUUGE, ok maybe not Huge, but I gots a big ass, and as mentioned above if I buy smaller pants it feels like I'm trying to smuggle a ham in my back pocket.

I know how that is. I'm 6'2" with a 32" inseam, 40" waist, and size 15 feet. People with big feet are supposed to be taller, but I think I grew wider. It's great for balance, and somehow I can still pass myself off as human and not completely ogrish.

I don't know if you were serious, but if you really are super skinny and can never gain weight, then I envy you. I would rather have a hyperactive metabolism than one of a sloth.

/stupid genetics.

Well, sir, many of our clients find pants confining, so we offer a range of alternatives for the ample gentleman: ponchos, muumuus, capes, jumpsuits, unisheets, muslim body rolls, academic and judicial robes...

I spend a lot of time at the gym to keep this form. If you don't work out, even if your thin you won't have a nice shape.

Fark you, i may still be a lardass but at least i'm no longer a mega-lardass.

Aren't those, like, in malls and stuff?

Bullshiat. I fit into 34s whether it's Gap or Levi's and Levi's doesn't make the list.

Ive always thought pants measurements were being increased while the "sizes" stayed the same. Levis that fit snug a couple of years ago now fall off my ass when I buy a new pair. Ive been the same size for years, yet my pants fit differently.

Digital_Meltdown: I don't have time to read this, I have to be at the gym in 26 minutes.WIN

OK, I am 6'4" and need a 34" inseam in most dress and casual pants. when I was in my early twenties, I had a couple of pair of carpenter jeans by Levi with a a 36" waist and 36" inseam which were just a little bit too long until they shrank up a bit after a few washings. Back then I was about 175 lbs.

Now, it's 48" to 50" waist and 280 lbs. Hey, it happens...

That's pretty impressive nice job

6', 168lbs
I wear something between size 32 and 34 depending on how much the manufacturer is lying.

I wonder if we can plot the spread between actual and claimed size vs claimed size and find where the average error goes to zero :P

I don't know. I haven't left the house in... a long time.

Is Carter still president?

6', 150 pounds or so (fluctuates a bit)... I think I wear 30-32's... I generally cut the tags out of my pants, so I'm not 100% sure anymore. I usually just try on a few pairs of pants until I find ones that fit. I don't care what size they say it is, just if they fit well.

Although... now that I'm thinking about it; I'm not fat, something like that isn't likely to matter to me much.

5'10" 128 pds 29" waist. Um ya I do need a sammich. Actually, bacon, must have more bacon.

/damn metabolism from hell sometimes.

Back in college I used to easily fit into my GFs size 28 waist jeans. I've blown up like a balloon since then, size 32 now.
