Why relaxed shows a smaller size Relaxed shirts are cut with more room through the body and shoulders. That room is what gives them their shape, so your usual size ends up sitting loose all round. One size down keeps it sitting where it should, and you still get the full relaxed look.
Your usual trouser size
The waist number you normally buy.
Your bottoms
Non-elasticated stays the same These sit at your actual waist, so a 32 is a 32 in tailored and in relaxed. Only the cut around it changes.
Elasticated relaxed goes one down Relaxed pieces carry more room through the seat and thigh. With an elasticated waist there is nothing holding that in, so your usual size sits loose. One down keeps it in place without losing the relaxed shape.
Our fits run with a little room by design. If you like things closer to the body, take one down from what is shown.
