Do Lemaire tend to fit smaller than usual?

I think @OccultaVexillum mentioned that this ran a little small and the measurements from ssense show the 50 with a 16.5" waist. That would be too small for me I think, except that the rise is 13.75", which is pretty high. And my experience is that I should be able to get that combination to work for me.

Rust might be different, but I tried the green earlier in the season and the waist was under 16” on the 50. Iirc it was closer to 15.5”

Oh wow, should I order a size 36 instead of 32 and see if 34 or 36 fits better? Because my best fitting pants are around 16”

Uh oh. I could be in trouble. That’s awfully trim for a 34. Maybe I’ll call and see if the 36 is available tomorrow.

I normally get size 34 pants, but I went with the 52s(36) in Lemaire this current season. The work pants, elasticated waist and suit pants all felt too slim in 50.

Here are the measurements on the pair I'm wearing at the moment. I'm a 33-34 and they fit fine.

+ I got them with 20% cashback and a random 25% off. pockets were still shut :)

Those fit very normal though, the washed wool from that season was much slimmer. I took a 50 in both but could have gone up to 52 in the washed wool, also those ones have more leniency since they are elasticated.

I think you’ll probably all be ok.
If you’re on the higher end of the size then maybe go up (eg/ if youre a 33 then go for a 50).
Worst case scenario you can get them let out, which is easy on every other pair of Lemaire pants so I don’t see why the 2-pleats would be different.

I bought it. I’m usually a medium so good chance it’ll go back to the Barn but for 70% off wanted to try

The 2 pleats 32 and 34 were not found for me, but they place an order for size 36. Hope it works out. Good luck everyone
