I don't find Tricker's factory to be good value either. Including the shipping charges, it's not that far off from retail prices. Bear in mind that a number of online retailers offer free shipping. Only good for special make ups I guess.
If anyone is interested, just received a pair of NS from TBS. Tag size is 26 while measured size is 28. Come with the pin which I thought was discontinued.

Nope. Worn pair. When new it was probably around 28". I do wonder if it will shrink back in the next wash.
Just to add to the messed up sizing, I have a pair of Petit Standard, purchased from Context in mid 2012. Tag size is 26". One soak. Current waist measurement is 30".
