Technical flat drawn to scale from the size chart.
True Guy
High rise and roomy through the seat and thigh, with a straight leg.
For a 32″ waist (our default: enter yours). Size 30’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 Stevenson Overall Co. Santa Cruz is slimmer in the thigh (−¾″), lower in the rise (−¾″), fuller at the knee (+½″) and longer in the leg (+¾″). Straight vs Relaxed Tapered.
How the Santa Cruz would fit
- Sits lower on the hips, with a shorter, closer seat.
- Closer through the thigh, so expect a snug feel until it gives with wear.
- Tapers more below the knee for a tidier ankle.
