The inch measurements for men don't account for wider hips/bum so it takes a bit of trial and error to figure out what size to buy. Whenever I buy men's trousers I have to buy them 4 or 6 inches bigger than my own waist and then wear a belt to cinch the excess in. It's kind of a hassle and it's definitely not considered a put-together look by most women so the appeal is limited to the less fashion conscious of us.

This would be a $10-$20 adjustment at your local tailor.

But adds significant additional cost and complexity.

Tell me you live in a major city without telling me you live in a major city.

Probably European, but not necessarily.

And that’s why you have a local tailor.
