Jeans: a size 32 waist measures approximately 32–32.5” actual, unlike brands that run 1–2” small.
Men’s jeans: four inseam lengths (28”, 30”, 32”, 34”), eliminating the need for tailoring.
Women’s jeans: range from 28” to 32” depending on the style.
Tees (Driggs and Marcy) run true to size — a Medium fits a 38–40” chest in men’s, and skims curves without clinging in women’s.
