50's XX
TCB's take on the early-50s 501XX: a mid rise and a straight, roomy leg.
For a 32″ waist (our default: enter yours). Size 33’s waistband measures 31½″, ½″ under your waist: a firm break-in. Expect it to feel tight for the first week or two while the waistband gives most of its inch, then it settles close to your waist.

How the XX-003 would fit
- Sits lower on the hips, with a shorter, closer seat.
