I knew I was getting a small, I just wish it was on the larger end.

That's because Yoox routinely screws up pant sizing. Usually a '36' means a Euro size 46. Which is to say, small.
^ Which one did you get? If they're OOS, you can always sell it to me.
I wouldn't say it's a screw-up. They are an Italian company, so it makes sense that they would use European conventions. The world doesn't revolve around America and its conventions...
It is an error. When using the US site it shows the "converted size". So it will list a pair of size 46(italian) as a size 36(US), when in reality it is a size 30(US). Their size-conversion method is wrong.

It is not an error. They just happen to use Italian suit sizing for dressier pants (hence the need to deduct 10+6=16 from the listed suit size) and regular US pants sizing for some others.
They would be right if every suit had a drop 6 - but they don't. North American conventions (ie. the NA versions of the yoox site) would be more correct listing a 46eu as a size 30, since that is what they are.
...It's much better to just state the size given by the designer said:I'd definitely agree with that. Every designers' clothing fits slightly differently, and it will very from season to season. I think it's even worse for women's clothing. My wife is a Italian 38 or 40, depending on the cut. This roughly translates to a US size 4. However, while we were living in America, she found that she had to buy "Petite US size 4" for some of the "mall brands," because apparently US 4 isn't a really a 4, and they have "petite" and non-petite sizing. What a mess. It doesn't really make any sense to me!!!
