AnswerThe best way to get a good fit when altering the waist is what I call the pinch and pin method.
  • Put your pants on inside out.
  • Evenly take in at the two side seams to a slightly tighter feel then pin there.
  • if you are comfortable sewing, I would then just extend the middle seam in the back to a dart on the waist.
  • If you want it to fit well but dont want to fuss with that seam find two points equal distance from that seam and pinch and pin until you get desired fit.
  • Just remember when sewing darts, take your time; the waist is very tempermental and you don't want gathers.

The below answer doesn't actually answer the question of average >> How to measure for your pants / trouser size : Men : While standing straight, have a friend measure around your waist (W) at the top of your hip bone. Again, don't pull too tight to allow for eating and seating room. Also, if you know you have large hips in relation to your waist it may be advisable to size up as well. Pants Length / Out-seam : While standing straight & looking forward measure from the top of the hip bone down to "approximately" the bottom of the ankle bone. We ship a vast majority of our pants unhemmed. We can alter the pants length upon special request for an additional fee. However, if we hem the pants they are no longer return/exchangeable. Men's Adjustable Pants have a 3" range of adjustment.
