Does Momotaro run true to size?

Going by the published charts, Momotaro runs large. For a 32″ waist we’d pick a tag 31 in 9 of 15 models, a size down from your waist. That aims for a waistband at your waist after the first soak: selvedge gives about an inch with wear.

Your waistTag we’d pickIn
30″ (76 cm)2910 of 14 models
32″ (81 cm)319 of 15 models
34″ (86 cm)338 of 15 models
36″ (91 cm)347 of 14 models

Waists measured around your body where your jeans sit. Raw, unsanforized charts are adjusted for their first soak. Each model below shows its own pick for your waist.
