From M and H
So I contacted M and H and told them feedback was that pants are running small. This is what the told me:
Our pants are made in a "Traditional" cut, So they do sometimes seem to run smaller when compared to your previous uniform provider .
But they are manufactured to be easily customized; i.e. tapered, waist adjustments, etc.
To Determine your Pant size, Take a measuring tape and measure it around your waist as you would a belt.
Look at the measurement where the tape meets. That is technically your size…but… Is this comfortable? If so, order that size. If you are a 37, and that size is not available, go up to the next size i.e.; 38.
If you feel the tape is the right measurement but would like a little more room, Order the next inch or two up. This is a uniform and may be worn more often than your casual clothing. For this reason, we suggest that you order what will be comfortable for you long term.
If you have a more muscular or fuller thighs or seat area, it may be more comfortable to fit for those areas and then take the waist in accordingly.
For what it’s worth, I didn’t flat out tell them that everyone thinks they suck, but we definitely need to let management know that’s what everyone thinks.
