I'm trying to decide whether or not to take a chance on a pair of Epaulet slacks. I've heard good things about them, but the company's No Refunds policy has me spooked.
Making matters worse, I'm confused by how they describe their slacks' measurements. From their website: "Rise is measured from the lowest point of the crotch (laid flat) to the top of the waistband." But isn't rise normally measured from the crotch seam to the top of the waistband? When I lay a pair of slacks out flat, the crotch seam is quite a bit higher than the lowest point of the crotch.
Which is correct, or is there not an industry standard for it?
