Technical flat drawn to scale from the size chart.
Californian Lot 54
A 1950s–60s five-pocket pattern: mid rise and an easy straight leg, roomier than the Lot 64.
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.
