I'm sort of 28/30 - it's a bitch buying black trousers. I don't want those drainpipe pipsters they seem to sell to fashion victims. Just some normal trousers. I had to settle for waist 32 in the end and everyone can no see my underwear.
Why should something so basic be so complicated just 'cos I'm not fat enough? |

There's the real 30 and then there's the flattering 30 most companies now a days over size stuff so people don't feel as big as they are, from your post I would say your actually a 32/34 but bought flattering jeans |

What gets me is the measurement isn't just an arbitrary number. It's a measurement in inches. Not US inches, or Taiwanese or UK inches. Just inches. It's not that difficult to sort surely?
As for women's dress sizes. Well...just don't even get me started on those. |

I'm a 31 waist so it's online or in the 2nd's rail is where I get most of my jeans etc. but I've got 30's and 32's that also fit me, most jeans will loosen up in time so a pair that's tight at the start will feel better in time |

There'll always be an issue with 'men inches'.

Women's sizes are the same. It's all utter bollocks just to make people feel better. Ignore the label and just try something on that looks like it will fit.
