What is the consensus on pants sizing for Engineered Garments trousers? I can't try them in person anytime soon, and my natural waist is 35 inch. Most brands are vanity sized, so I usually wear 33, 34 or sometimes 32.

I'm kind of worried of ordering L and being stuck with pants I can't close.

Is the waistband alterable? Are the trousers usually roomy in the top block or very slim?

Thanks
Unfortunately there’s to many variables and not enough information to answer this correctly, as it’s going to depend on the model, year, material, fit prefence and your body type.

In my limited experience with EG you’ll either be a L or XL.

My best advise is either buy from somewhere that has good measurements available or deep discount/ second hand market. That way if it doesn’t workout at least you can sell them at minimal loss.

This is sort of what I expected of an answer... I'll build op my experience with less expensive pieces from ebay and else.

As much as I like the brand, I'm not in love with their distribution model.

I’d argue that you’d probably be more likely to fit into Medium/Large bottoms. I’m very similar in size to you and wear mediums or 34’s in most EG bottoms.
How can you possibly argue that, when you have no idea what his body type is or fit preference is? I’m similar too and take an XL.

Just order online from one of the many places that carry. If they fit, keep them. If not, return it's really pretty simple. Now if you're hoping that you'll forever be a certain size across all seasons and buy everything used without any misses...ain't gonna happen.

Anyone know if any other retailers getting the slip-ons? Hoping the new ones fit a little better, I still have a couple pairs of the older release I couldn't wear because of the heel.

Bodega Store sold through a lot of pairs. Khaki seems to be the least popular.

Notre Store in Chicago have only a few sizes left in white.
The Loit link, but scroll down the page for the listing.
Today Clothing worth checking out, but black completely sold out.

Any stores online stock the grey pair? Or is Grey and Red Nepenthes exclusive?

Shame olive was not released again this year.
