Nowhere near a Uniqlo so can't try them on, can someone who's got a 32" waist pair measure the actual waist please?

Haydn's 34" comes up as 35", was woder if the 32" comes up as 33"

Thanks in advance

Ive had a couple of pairs of chinos from uniqlo, not vintage however, and the 32's were true to size.

I just ordered these yesterday, opted for a 34 waist, i am about a 33 waist but would rather them be a tad loose rather than too tight!
I hope they don't measure 35!!!!
Will let you know how i get on.

there is some give in the vintage chino as it has the donut button so the waist band can take some tension,so there is a good inch of stretch in them,they come pretty true to size though.

Im a 33" waist dead on, they will be fine for the first few wears, but after that you will need a belt.

Not too sure if the ones online now are in fact the slimmer ones or not?

went into the store today on oxford street.

they didn't have any 34W for me to try on in that store or any of the ones nearby.

I found some other chinos in Urban Outfiters for £4.99 tho. they don't have the donut button, but for £4.99 I aint complaining.

I'll put pics up in the latest purchase thread in a bit.

Could you help me out please?

Am i right in thinking the "brown" colour is more like a classic "stone" colour in the flesh, and the khaki is more brownish?
