I was just measuring myself considering to buy a pair of trousers but I really need help with that!

I know many of you are experts... when not taylors! So I think someone of you could explain me this.

I wear usually size 48 (in Italy, italian size). I've read it is equal to 33 inches which is approximately 81cm. Now, I bought 32 wested trousers and they are TOO baggy and generally TOO BIG! They look like a size more than mine.
I'm scared to get a 30".

Where I'm failing? There is something confusing me. Where should I take the measure? Give me anatomical indications please

The problem with pant sizing is that they seem to vary with brand. Some of my jeans are 34X34, some are 36X34 some are 38X34. However, I actually measure 36. So I guess my point is it might be best to find out if the trousers run true to size.

mmh it seems that it's the same problem everywhere and not just something about italian sizes then!

Well I keep on measuring myself and I keep on getting 83/84 centimeters, maybe I'm measuring it wrong I don't know.

Don't know what to do with an eventual pair of trousers if I have to buy them online

Make sure you're taking the measurement off the body and not over your clothes.

Well of course just naked body, but thanks for asking... sometimes the simplest answer is the key.

Is it possible that I'm low-waisted? That would explain why the Wested trousers are SOOOOOOO large downthere but still reasonably large on the waist

Enjoy it while you can, erri my friend. Time WILL come (and you remember I said this when it occurs), you'll look back and try to remember when you once HAD a 31 inch waist and everything was 'loose' on you. It will all become a distant memory.

HIGH regards! Michaelson

Ain't THAT the truth! Come on, Michaelson, I'll buy you a drink... A lo-fat one... well, make that two -- one for me as well!

AHAHAHA... what sort of pictures? Me naked or me wearing big trousers?
My girlfriend could have something to object in the first case

Ok well I've taken some measures out of my 32" wested trousers and I think next time I should try 30". Probably it's my perfect size, there is too much space in these. Thanks for the help guys and sorry for the pictures but I don't like showing my belly


Anyone interested in 32" Wested pair of trousers like new?
Kidding, I doubt I could sell these lovely trousers anyway, I'll probably keep them for an older age

Hey I'm 21 in July!!

I just discovered that I'm almost certainly 30"... my dad tried my 32" wested and they fit him perfectly... and I know he's the next size than mine. My mum told me that for my birthday (july) she will buy me a fitting pair
