I recieved my RLPL pants today and they are not true to size.

I ordered some wool and corduroy pants in size 32, but, they measured 34".

Does any know what the measurements are for the size 30?

I have 2 pair, 1 measures true to size, the other was 1 1/2 inch larger. I don't think there is a definitive answer, at least based on my experience.

How is the fit on the legs? Are they full cut or slimmer?

perhaps they are sized based on the waist, but cut to be worn at the hips.

I tried on some RLPL wool pants at the Chevy Chase store over the weekend. i'm normally a 30, but the 32's fit perfectly. I also found that in Borrelli and Incotex branded pants I'm a 32 as well. Must be the Euro/Italian sizing.

The legs were embarrassingly full. I have 23" thighs and they felt like parachute pants.

They are to be returned today.

These are dress slacks not low rise jeans.
