I feel the pain. 32x34 here and hard to come by.

Actually, women's Levis did not have the 'W' or 'L' as part of the external tag on them for obvious reasons!.

Maybe now, but I remember when I was a kid in the 70s an aunt of mine went to great lengths to remove the tag so her sizes wouldn't show.

Banana Republic Traveler Jeans. Best all purpose comfortable and a bit of stretch jeans.

My size too. I buy every pair of 514 regular blue jeans I find.

I've tried buying online but always end up with some weird color

I use clothes for years and seldom buy anything. However I've worn 32x32 for decades, and when I do try to buy "jeans" I have to look through all of the selections to find my size. I feel lucky to locate more than one pair. I do seem to find lots of sizes like 46x28 though. Those kinds of sizes seem to be the ones they produce most.

There is. Trunk Club sends me clothes when I ask for them. "Hello, Liz? Yes, I need another pair of jeans, and some shorts, and ... I don't know a couple of polos or something. Awesome, thanks!" And a few days later, I get a box full of stuff that fits. I try it all on, stuff half of the clothes back in the box, and send it back (free shipping, pre-printed label and everything).

I don't ever plan on going shopping in a normal clothing store again, seriously.

want to make your head explode ???
and not just spin

measure the jeans
then measure your waist

I bet nether is near 32''

Some of the best fitting, longest lasting jeans I have had were my $12.99 Kirkland from Costco. They were my garage jeans and saw a lot of welding, grinding, laying on the ground under car, fluids, etc. I finally retired them, but I was pretty damn impressed.

I've just bought two pairs of Levis 511 Skinny Commuter jeans (my favorite style), used, on eBay for $25-35 each including shipping. One pair is the original commuter jean, long discontinued.

I wish I could return the two pairs I bought at the Levis store and get my $70 back. But then I'd have to go back to the outlet mall. It is worth $70 to not do that again. I'll never do that again.

Nota. I bet you're right! Seems like waist size tags have remained the same but the actual sizes have crept up. Although I haven't measured for years, I also bet my waist size has crept up along with the clothing size.
