I have a buyer interested in some trousers of mine for sale that have cinches. Given the measurements, he is concerned that he would be cinching approximately 1.5" total (so 3/4" per side) when wearing them and was wondering if that was too much?
I only have one pair of trousers that I wear with cinches and i never really paid attention to how much/little cinching is actually going on. For comparison, I tried mine on and found that I'm actually cinching 2 inches total, which sounds like a lot but, in reality, looks perfectly fine even from the side.
So, I'm curious, how much or little cinching is proper? I'd especially like to hear from anyone who has had pants made with cinching - do you get them with your proper waist size (not expecting to cinch at all) or a little larger - and, if so how much - with the expectation that you'll always cinch down?
