For those of you who own calvin klein trunks, do they fit true to size? Is there a lot of stretch room?

My true size is a 32 inch waist but I'm worried that if I buy a size medium it'll be too big since it fits 32-34 inch waists. If the size small (for a 28-30 inch waist) has an extra strech of two inches when fully stretched, then it'll be perfect as it'll always be snug instead of loose as would most likely happen if I ordered a size medium.

The CK boxers have quite a bit of stretch to them. I wear a size S and I'm currently a 29.5 waist, but went up to 31 when I was on a bulking cycle earlier this year and the boxers never felt snug at all. If you like them snug, you should be ok with a size S at 32.

thanks for the info, are you talking about the boxers or the boxer briefs?

hope somebody that actually owns trunks can comment, they're having a sale soon and I can pick them up for pretty cheap, won't be a big loss if I have to order without trying them on but would hate to have to wait around to get some at the right size since I've heard that they're really comfortable and soft

I'm wondered about them being skin tight with zero stretch room, half an inch or an inch of stretch room max would be perfect

Get medium. Do you really want to have your underwear at full stretch all day ? Your balls will tire of it pretty quickly.

What is the composition? If they are cotton (even with spandex or elastic in them) they'll stretch out throughout the course of the day. If they are the nylon or tencel ones, they'll be fine (my favorite underwear). Buy a size M.

I wrote nylon, I meant Polyester. Don't think anyone wants to wear nylon underwear.

Get a small. I wear 31-32" jeans and I rock the small Calvins. Mediums are going to be to big for you. They stretch a lot.

I'm a true 31" waist and I've never worn any other size than medium in CK. Sizing down on your underwear is so gay, not to mention uncomfortable.

sizing chart states 32-34 which means I would get 2 or more inches stretched thus making it baggy and uncomfortable

I used to work in Macys and I also wear size 32 trousers. I would personally recommend a medium in most Calvin trunks. Also, Calvin recently released their modal fabric underwear. I attest to its extreme comfort; it's worth checking them out!
