WWII Model
A wartime-pattern classic straight leg with a mid-to-high rise.
For a 32″ waist (our default: enter yours). Size 34’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.

Compare with another model
The Boncoura 1943XX is shorter in the leg (−3¾″), slimmer in the thigh (−½″), narrower at the opening (−½″) and lower in the rise (−¼″). Both are Straight cuts.
How the 1943XX would fit
- Closer through the thigh, so expect a snug feel until it gives with wear.
- A narrower opening: neat with sneakers, a squeeze over chunky boots.
- Shorter in the leg: less cuffing needed.
