General Rules How to Buy Pants
As a general rule, try to purchase pants that fit
right the first time around, or at least come as close to
fitting right as possible The key is to minimize
adjustments of any sort because the less work your tailor does
on your new trousers, the less likely he is to slip up and ruin
your new pants altogether
Your pant size is usually
written inside your pants, around the waistband or, in the case
of jeans, on the leather tag, usually found on the exterior part
of the waistband above the right back pocket That said,
the best way to discover your pant size is to read it off your
favorite pair of pants -- ones that obviously fit you well
Keep in mind that your pant
size is equal to your waist size; therefore if you have a 34"
waist, then you should wear size 34 pants But for some odd
reason, sizes sometimes vary from one pant maker to another You
should also know that many European pant sizes are smaller than
those found in the U S
To measure your pant size, lay
a pair of pants that fit you well flat on the table -- front
side up, making certain to eliminate all slack -- and measure
them from one end of the waistband to the other at the seams
Measurements aside, you should always choose
pants by whatever cut and style looks best with your build
While a boot cut and straight cut works well for most guys,
others prefer or look better in completely different styles

The most important facets of
your pants, in terms of fit, are the way your rear looks when
you're wearing them and their length, hence how they fall on
your shoes Style-wise, it is crucial that your behind
looks great in your pants regardless of style, cut and color
