I tried to clarify in another post that I was not talking about 301S, but another pair of non-IH jeans which are actually size 30, which is an arbitrary tag size in this sense. They measure 32' and fit well, so I guess 33 is where I should be at?

My size 32 in my current pair is both the tag size and the current waist size, I was not giving an arbitrary tag size. I was simply asking for fit advice outside 'stretches 1 inch'.

Just to confirm, the 32 waist I mentioned was not from a previous pair of 301S, rather, the jeans I am currently wearing. I'm not quite sure if that was clear.

Alright so after being jerked around on Selfedge with two purchases of the 301S overdye being sold out but not updated on the main site I came across these. Before I order I just wanted to ask everyone how they feel about sizing. I currently fit fairly snug in a 32 in. waist so I figured I would go for the 33 to hang them on the hips like Dior 19cm, would that work out or should I size down to 32?
