Whilst we all know the score on conversions: 32 USA/UK waist size is 50 in continental Europe, but I have generally found that any Italian made trouser or chino size is actually a size down i.e. if you are a 36 in USA/UK sizes you should be able to fit into a 52 in European sizes, but I find you need to go up to a 54 which corresponds to a 38. I think the reason for this is that USA/UK sizes are true to your actual waist measured on flesh, whereas those dastardly continentals measure the size with pants and belt on.
Anyone a position on this, other than I'm a fat bastard trying to hide their true waist size?
