sizing tip: measure yourself just above your hipbones to select the correct size. Our pants are labeled by the measurement of the circumference of the waist of the pant. example: if you have a 28 inch waist, chances are your lower waist will be approximately 29-30 inches, so pick a size 30, because WE GO BY THE SIZE OF THE PANT, NOT THE PERSON. also note that Vachon pants are TIGHT and not for the faint of heart. show it off! it didn't hurt robert plant!
