Oi, roundeye.....didnt Mauro suggest, in general, to size down 1. Sure I read that somewhere in this godforsaken thread. Maybe he's accounting for your fat ass expanding at an exponential rate, due to your inferior white genes.

naw, mauro definitely said go TTS but that he also realized most people would ignore his advice. i don't know **** so i just do what he recommends and it works out. then again, i wear pretty much the same size stuff that he does so i usually just go with what he does.

i think sizing down 1 may be pushing it and 2+ is gonna end up with some silly results

He didn't. Maybe you'd some selective roundeye surgery to help adjust your vision.

That's technically true. I'm a sorry Welsh/Irish mutt.

It's true. Numbers who have received my "blessing": 88. That is all.

so is it &quot;true to size&quot; as in a 32 is a 32? or as in they measure true to the numbers on the site (32 is actually 34?)?

my waist measures 32 but where my jeans sit is 33-34, so i got a 32 since i normally wear a size 32. it's not "technically" true to size given the measurement, but it's not gonna be worn that high so i ordered "true to size," as in this is designed for a size 32 waist
