they really should, or really fix their sizing. I'm not even that small and 29 is too big for me (stretches to something like 32).

Bootleg is very similar to Rescue. The leg is slighter tighter, but otherwise pretty much the same. The Bootleg is discontinued, but can be found infrequently on forums, eBay, etc.

As an nice little aside, I currently have a pair of APC Bootleg sz. 28 for sale on the B&S forum.

rise is higher on the bootleg though...highest rise they made (i've tried on)

highest rise to lowest bootleg>rescues>new standards

It's unfortunate how hardly anyone makes a smaller waist size than 30 or smaller chest size than 38. Small guys need love too...

i'm sorry but i really think they shouldn't. anything under 29 is too skinny. i used to be a size 28 with a belt. that was damn ridiculous.

My friend is only 5'8 with a 28" waist. I'd hardly call him unhealthily skinny, because that's with a bit of gut.

I'd buy it in a second. I wear a 30 in everything else. a 28 would = a normal size 30.

Dude, he gets free pizza all the time where he works. A cheeseburger wouldn't make a damn bit of difference.
