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).

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 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.

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"
 
2010-09-10 02:20:59 AM
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"
 
2010-09-10 02:21:04 AM
so those size 48s I used to wear were actually 50s?

/down to 36 or 38 depending what you believe

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.
 
2010-09-10 02:24:18 AM
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.
 
2010-09-10 02:24:26 AM
Do they do that for every size? Are my 46s really 49s?!

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"

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.

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.

Bullshiat. I fit into 34s whether it's Gap or Levi's and Levi's doesn't make the list.
 
2010-09-10 02:51:47 AM
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.

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...

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

2010-09-10 03:37:01 AM
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.

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.
