Nah. Mens pants sizes are just as wild and wrong as womens sizes.

Its vanity sizing, everywhere

I struggled to fit in a size 34 a while ago.

Slightly more expensive brand, I fit in 34 just fine. So in my mind I still have a 34" waist.

I do not.

I went to get a couple of pairs of jeans from a Plato's closet recently. I tried 6 pairs of different brand jeans, all 34/32. 4 pairs didn't clear my thighs, 1 couldn't button, the last fit. The cut of the jeans makes those numbers mean very different things..

Cut is part of it, but they literally aren't consistent about the length of the cloth, even with the same number shown.

"Boot cut" or "skinny" 34 waist from every single brand will differ, even if the cut was exactly the same.
