Waist sizing.

yea, i know, another, I'll keep it simple.

So far I understand that the best way to wear these is as tight in the waist as you can tolerate, to allow for stretching. Also, I figure this is true because slimmer jeans will fade faster (less slack, more tension, more stress on the fabric). Also, I like the slim look.

The tightest-waisted jeans that I own into are Levi skinner 29's. I can button them with any real discomfort, and they measure 14.5" across the top, lying naturally (14.75 with front and back waistband aligned).

Zoovillage shows that the waist 29 in Bootcut ola has a waist of 78.5cm which is 30.5 inches. Does that mean I'd need a 28 in bootcut ola?

What size waist in bootcut ola dry should I buy?

thanks tons.

since nobody answered this ( and i am bored at work)..

I'd say size down to a 28...
with that size waist you are probably skinny enough that any tightness wouldn't be a problem...hehe skinny legs
if you want a more baggy fit go with the 29s

i personally wear a 33 waist, but i sized up to a 34 to allow for a bit more room in the thighs (i have soccer player legs).. the 34 has stretched to a 34.5 or so...but the fit is perfect- was never too tight to begin with, so no complaints
