Trousers sizings

Post by mjd24 »

I usually stick with shorts year round but im tempted to get some trousers for this winter. Just wondering what size i should order - im usually a waist 34 but might be pushing a 36 soon 😂

For some reason the shorts fit a lot snugger than my trousers which are quite loose and needing the belt

I find the shorts have got a decent stretch to them though. So would you say size down with the trousers?

I find both come up small. I needed a size up compared to the old uniform.

It's pot luck as the continuity is all over the place. I have two pairs of trousers. One fit perfectly, the others are tight around the waist.

Still not sure whether to go for waist 34 or 36 . . . As i said in an earlier post my Royal Mail shorts (new ones) are waist 36 but outside work i wear 34 jeans etc

Also- just looking on the uniform site and the size options for the trousers includes UH? For example 34UH - anyone know what this means?

i think uh means unhemmed
as for the trouser size im a 34 waist and got new trousers and shorts a few months ago
the trousers were 34r but a bit tight
the shorts were 34 but could not get them on no way are they a 34
but i then got a 36 in trousers which are a bit loose so i think they are all over the place
id order a 36 to be on the safe side u can always wear a belt

You can try on and return stuff and re-order can't you?
