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.

The Studio D'Artisan SD-1002 is slimmer in the thigh (−½″), smaller in the waist (−½″), shorter in the leg (−1″) and wider at the opening (+¼″). Straight vs Wide.

How the SD-1002 would fit

  • Closer through the thigh, so expect a snug feel until it gives with wear.
  • Shorter in the leg: less cuffing needed.
