If I knew these would fit my thighs, I would be all in. But my recent Epaulet trials have resulted in errors. Hey @SpooPoker - any chance you know the thigh/hip measurements on these?

19.5" across.

Hey friends. I already have those Big Flower shorts in every color, so my closet isn't begging for any more, but highly recommend. The inseam might be a little short for some, but I'm 98% sure they're made out of the Khyber cloth that Epaulet has used forever. Plus they have a great washed look to them. Wore them a lot when I got mine in July/August. Excited to break them back out if this snow ever melts.

One note: I think they run a little big. I'm a 32-33 waist, which normally translates to a Medium, but I had to wear these in a Small.

@justridiculous I posted the rise of the Como fit size 36 a few pages back. I can't remember it off the top of my head, but I would describe it as mid-rise. Probably somewhere around 11 inches for the size 36. Waist was true to size. If the Como fit follows the general rule of increasing the rise by 1/4 to 1/8 inch for each next size up, that should give you some idea. I liked the Como fit enough to keep them, but I definitely prefer a higher rise in most of my trousers.

Any chance I can get the waist, rise, and thigh measurement on these in a size 40?

@DerekS @Caustic Man For every inch increased in the waist, Hertling trousers gain 1/8" in rise and 1/4" in all other measurements. That's pretty consistent across their traditional fits and models.

I was once given production specs for a size 34 and extrapolated this chart from there. Should be reasonably accurate.

That helps. Thank you!
