    Then you must have the weirdest waist ever, for a man.

    I am able to go out into any store with my current waist size, and get a good-fitting pair virtually every time without even trying it on. Now, I may not like certain styles - I prefer my belt to be at my bellybutton, not halfway down my hips such that any erection can only ever point down - but men’s sizes are remarkably consistent.

      Try and find a 38" waist with a 36" inseam. Even in Tall and Big man stores they assume you have at least a 44" waist.

        Try and find a 38" waist with a 36" inseam.

        Then that is an availability of options issue, and not any kind of issue where manufactures label a pair of pants to be a 38 when it is really a completely different size.

        Are you measuring your waist or your hips? Counterintuitively the waist measurement is not where your trousers actually sit.

      I bought several pairs of shorts recently from the same brand, all the same waist size, and some definitely fit better than others. There are always manufacturing variances.
