When I ordered these, I used the number that was written inside my husband's Wrangler jeans that fit him just right.  I ended up ordering 3 pair of jeans.  They're all too big!  He wears a 34x30 and that's what I ordered plus the number that was written on the inside of his jeans.  He can't wear these at all, I feel like I wasted my money on them.  I found out that numbers mean nothing.
