Technical flat drawn to scale from the size chart.
1943XX
A WWII-era pattern: mid-to-high rise and a slightly wider straight leg.
For a 32″ waist (our default: enter yours). Size 32’s waistband measures 32″, right at your waist. Selvedge gives about an inch with wear, so a waistband that starts at your waist ends up comfortable, not loose.
