Waist sizes & clothes.

Sizes are often brand dependant, and yes there's disparity between trousers/shorts. My trouble is proportions more than anything - small waist (28-29) but bigger butt/legs due to weightlifting and clothes are sized assuming small waist = small everything else.
 
I have this problem too! I wear a 32" waist in jeans but my work trousers which are also 32" are way too big, I have to use a belt. Doesn't make sense to me, I can understand brands having different ideas as to what small, medium and large mean but an inch is a unit of measurement and shouldn't be open to random interpretation. :D

Same goes for shoes and other things too..

I bought a pair of black and brown belts from BHS based on waist size, and I had to put an extra hole in them, did the same thing at NEXT before that, and the belt wouldn't even stretch around me to the first belt hole.

Moral of the story -try it on first!
I'm a 32/34/36 waist depending lol..

I used to be an accountant for a clothing firm and it was common if they were running out of a certain size for an order to just sew the size label they needed into a different size item.

So no, you can't always trust what the label says :p
