The typical "Italian" cut tends to be slimmer and more cropped for sure- I would size up to IT52 trousers. I have some Incotex in IT50 that are on the slimmer side, and I find the rise a little low even for a trouser with side-adjusters.

By contrast, I have Zegna and Armani semi-casual trousers in IT50 that are too large- I had a similar experience with Lardini. My Pal Zileri dress slacks in IT48 fit perfect, ditto GTA Il Pantalone. Boglioli IT50 fit good too.

I had a 32" size waist but over time have grown towards 34", In truth I'm somewhere near 33" which is too rare to find on sale.

If you buy a trouser too big in the waist, you can always get that fitted better, but you can't add seat room to an undersized trouser.

How old is too old for a vintage overcoat? Say it's made out of good quality cotton or wool (100% either way). How many years can a coat last, assuming a fairly good caring of it? Is it an element to judge when shopping? Say, I found a beautiful coat, but it was made in the 60s: Does it matter?

No moth hole maybe a century plus just random guess?
