Technical flat drawn to scale from the size chart.
Slim Taper
A fitted top block through hip and thigh, narrowing to a slim hem.
For a 81.3 cm waist (our default: enter yours). Size 30’s waistband measures 81.3 cm, right at your waist. Selvedge gives about an inch with wear, so a waistband that starts at your waist ends up comfortable, not loose.
