Rugby RL Waist Size

[brad90007]

I really like the looks of Rugby's University Corduroy Pant, but there is no store nearby where I can try on a pair. Before pulling the trigger with the online purchase, I was hoping someone could clue me in as to how the waist sizes compare to other brands. A 31 inch waist in J Crew is a near perfect fit for me. A 31 inch waist in Brooks Brothers is a tad snug. Anyone know how a 31 inch waist in Rugby fits compared to these other brands? I might just play it safe and go with a 32 inch waist in the Rugby University Corduroy Pant and have the waist taken in if it's too loose. Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I just bought some green RL Rugby chinos, and they fit a little snugger. I'm a 32 in Jcrew chinos, and the RL's are a 32 and feel a little snug. I'm sure they'll stretch out a bit if I slept in them as I do to break-in new jeans. I would get the 32 if I were you.

I size down in both and the waist is fairly comparable. The seat and legs run slimmer in Rugby though.

Thanks for the tips! I'm going to go with the 32 then.
