Fit Guide: The Weirloom WL-001 vs. Iron Heart 634, Tellason Sheffield, Samurai 510, and a Dozen More
When I decided to make my own jeans and launch Weirloom, I knew one of the first questions people would ask was: how does the fit compare to other jeans?
The Weirloom WL-001 is my idea of a true straight-leg fit: a natural rise, a leg that doesn’t taper too much, and just the right amount of room in the top block.
But instead of just telling you how it fits, I’ve done what I’ve always done in retail: compare the jeans to something you already know.
Maybe you love the Iron Heart 634 (like me), or you’re a fan of Tellason’s Sheffield, Samurai’s 510, Nudie’s Steady Eddie, Edwin’s Nashville, or any of the other jeans on the list below—which, by the way, are some of the jeans the first Weirloom customers have told me they wear and like.
This fit guide compares the measurements of the WL-001 to the following jeans: Iron Heart 634, Full Count 1108, Samurai 510, Japan Blue J401, Tellason Sheffield, Brave Star True Straight, Gustin Straight, Edwin Nashville, Nudie Steady Eddie, and not least Benzak’s B-02.
WL-001 Size Chart Now Available!
Weirloom was launched on a pre-order setup, and not all details were confirmed when I first announced the jeans. That included the size chart.
If you’ve been waiting to see what the jeans measure in other sizes than the prototyped size 31, thank you for your patience; the size chart is now available on the product page.
And if this is the first you hear of “Weirloom” and wonder what it’s all about (like where that name comes from and how to pronounced it), start with this blog about why I’ve started a brand, or this FAQ about it.
How I Measured the Jeans
Every pair in this guide—including my own—was measured flat using (more or less) consistent methods. For the comparisons, I’ve used size charts directly from the brand or a trusted retailer.
Here’s how I measure:
- Waist: Aligned the front and back of the waistband, then pulled taut and measured straight across, and doubled the measurement
- Front rise: From the crotch seam straight up to the top of the front waistband
- Back rise: From the crotch seam up to the centre back of the waistband
- Thigh: Straight across from the crotch seam (perpendicular to outseam)
- Knee: Measured 35 cm down from crotch seam, then straight across
- Hem: Straight across leg opening
- Inseam: From crotch seam to leg opening, following the contour of the leg
Most brands and retailers measure this way too—although some measure the waist a little differently. Some, like Nudie and Gustin, use different fixed points for thigh or knee.
What about sizing and grading?
To compare apples to apples, I selected the size in each brand that most closely matches the waist measurement of the Weirloom WL-001 in size 31. That’s the fairest way to compare fit, I think.
And regarding grading, it’s important to remember that not all brands grade sizes the same. Some adjust rise, thigh, and hem more or less aggressively than others as you go up or down in size. Please check the measurements twice when you compare to your size.
Iron Heart 634
The 634 is Iron Heart’s flagship straight-leg fit—mid-to-high rise, a comfortable top block, and a clean leg from hip to hem. It’s one of the best-balanced fits in modern denim, and it’s no surprise it’s become a go-to for so many.
I’ve worn the 634 myself for years, in several different fabrics, and I’d probably call it my all-time favourite fit—well, apart from my Weirlooms 
Iron Heart 634 vs. Weirloom WL-001
The differences between the 634 and the WL-001 are subtle but noticeable. The WL-001 has a lower front rise and a flatter yoke, which shapes the seat a bit differently—giving it a slightly more modern silhouette. The thigh and knee of the WL-001 are a touch slimmer, but not dramatically so.
| WL-001, size 31 | IH-634, size 33 | Difference | |
| Waist | 84.0 cm (33.1″) | 83.8 cm (33.0″) | –0.2 cm (–0.1″) |
| Front Rise | 26.4 cm (10.4″) | 27.9 cm (11.0″) | +1.5 cm (+0.6″) |
| Back Rise | 40.0 cm (15.7″) | 39.4 cm (15.5″) | –0.6 cm (–0.2″) |
| Thigh | 33.0 cm (13.0″) | 34.3 cm (13.5″) | +1.3 cm (+0.5″) |
| Knee | 23.5 cm (9.3″) | 24.1 cm (9.5″) | +0.6 cm (+0.2″) |
| Hem | 21.0 cm (8.3″) | 21.3 cm (8.4″) | +0.3 cm (+0.1″) |
If you’ve worn the 634, you’ll feel right at home in my Weirloom jeans.
Japanese Sizing
Like most Japanese brands, the tagged sized of Iron Heart’s jeans generally corresponds to the actual waist measurement.
In plain language, they run small compared to jeans from most American and Europe brands (including Weirloom), and you need to size up.
A tagged size 33 in the 634 is more or less identical to a size 31 WL-001, which means you need to size down two sizes (or maybe just one) from the 634.
Tellason Sheffield
The Sheffield is Tellason’s core straight-leg jean—clean, durable, and proudly made in the USA. With a classic mid-rise, roomy thigh, and subtle taper, it’s long been a favourite among guys looking for a traditional fit that still works in a modern wardrobe.
Tellason Sheffield vs. Weirloom WL-001
Compared to the Weirloom WL-001, the Sheffield’s top block is a bit different, with a higher rise and slightly slimmer thigh. But the leg profile—especially from the knee down—is very similar.
| WL-001, size 31 | Sheffield, size 32 | Difference | |
| Waist | 84.0 cm (33.1″) | 83.8 cm (33.0″) | –0.2 cm (–0.1″) |
| Front Rise | 26.4 cm (10.4″) | 28.6 cm (11.25″) | +2.2 cm (+0.85″) |
| Back Rise | 40.0 cm (15.7″) | 40.6 cm (16.0″) | +0.6 cm (+0.3″) |
| Thigh | 33.0 cm (13.0″) | 31.1 cm (12.25″) | –1.9 cm (–0.75″) |
| Hem | 21.0 cm (8.3″) | 20.3 cm (8.0″) | –0.7 cm (–0.3″) |
If you’ve worn the Sheffield but wanted a little more room and a lower rise, you’ll like the WL-001.
In terms of sizing, the Sheffield runs about one size smaller than the WL-001, which means you need to size down 1 size from the Sheffield to the WL-001.
Full Count 1108
The 1108 is one of Full Count’s best-known fits: a modern slim-straight jean with a slightly higher rise and a clean taper. It’s designed with balance in mind—offering a slim silhouette that still feels wearable and classic, especially when paired with the brand’s famously soft denim.
Full Count’s denim is famously soft and comfortable from the first wear, which makes the 1108 a real “daily driver” for many guys. Here, I’m comparing to the one-washed version of the 1108.
Full Count 1108 vs. Weirloom WL-001
The WL-001 has a roomier top block and a straighter leg overall. The rise on the 1108 is a little higher, and the taper below the knee is more noticeable.
On paper, the thigh appears significantly slimmer—but that’s partly because Full Count measures the thigh 40 cm down the leg (rather than straight from the crotch seam like I do for Weirloom). This measurement method leads to a smaller number, even if the actual feel isn’t quite as extreme.
| WL-001, size 31 | FC 1108, size 33 | Difference | |
| Waist | 84.0 cm (33.1″) | 84.0 cm (33.1″) | ±0.0 cm (±0.0″) |
| Front Rise | 26.4 cm (10.4″) | 28.5 cm (11.2″) | +2.1 cm (+0.8″) |
| Back Rise | 40.0 cm (15.7″) | 39.5 cm (15.6″) | –0.5 cm (–0.2″) |
| Thigh | 33.0 cm (13.0″) | *30.5 cm (12.0″) | –2.5 cm (–1.0″) |
| Knee | 23.5 cm (9.3″) | 22.0 cm (8.7″) | –1.5 cm (–0.6″) |
| Hem | 21.0 cm (8.3″) | 20.0 cm (7.9″) | –1.0 cm (–0.4″) |
*Thigh measured 40 cm down from crotch on Full Count.
If you’ve worn the 1108 and liked the fit, but wanted a slightly lower front rise and a straighter leg, the WL-001 might be exactly what you’re looking for.
Full Count size the Japanese way, where the waist measurement equals the tagged size (more or less). That means you need to size down two sizes from the 1108 to the WL-001.
EDWIN NASHVILLE
The Nashville is Edwin’s classic straight fit—mid-rise, roomy without being baggy, and traditionally cut through the leg. It’s Edwin Europe’s last remaining fit from the original Japanese line.
I’ve worn the Nashville myself in the brand’s signature 14 oz. selvedge denim—those jeans are now retired as my painting pants. It’s a great, dependable fit with a bit of a rockabilly vibe, at least here in Scandinavia.
Edwin Nashville vs. Weirloom WL-001
The Nashville is sized right in-between the WL-001. The jeans I have are a size 30—but I could also fit a 31 for a more casual look, I guess.
In a size 30, the Nashville comes out a little slimmer than the size 31 WL-001. The thigh, knee, and back rise are all tighter than the WL-001, which makes the fit feel more … traditional. The WL-001 keeps a more modern seat and a balanced straight leg, while the Nashville leans vintage in its overall silhouette.
| WL-001, size 31 | Nashville, size 30 | Difference | |
| Waist | 84.0 cm (33.1″) | 82.8 cm (32.6″) | –1.2 cm (–0.5″) |
| Front Rise | 26.4 cm (10.4″) | 26.0 cm (10.2″) | –0.4 cm (–0.2″) |
| Back Rise | 40.0 cm (15.7″) | 37.8 cm (14.9″) | –2.2 cm (–0.9″) |
| Thigh | 33.0 cm (13.0″) | 31.3 cm (12.3″) | –1.7 cm (–0.7″) |
| Knee | 23.5 cm (9.3″) | 22.7 cm (8.9″) | –0.8 cm (–0.3″) |
| Hem | 21.0 cm (8.3″) | 21.1 cm (8.3″) | +0.1 cm (±0.0″) |
If you’ve worn the Nashville and liked its balance of room and classic shape, the WL-001 will feel like a natural progression—with a slightly cleaner seat and a modern take on the same tried-and-true straight silhouette.
The waist on the Nashville runs 3 inches larger than the tagged size (give or take), so you’ll need to size up one to the WL-001
BENZAK B-02
The B-02 is Benzak’s answer to a straight fit with a modern European touch—clean, unfussy, and built to flatter without restricting.
With a mid-to-high rise and a strong top block, it’s a cut to give you room where you need it while keeping things streamlined throughout the leg.
I’ve known and deeply respected Lennaert—the founder of Benzak—since he launched the brand back in 2013. Over a decade later, I’m following in his footsteps by launching my own jeans on a pre-order model. He’s been, and continues to be, a true inspiration to me.
Benzak B-02 vs. Weirloom WL-001
Side by side, the B-02 is a touch more structured up top and slightly slimmer through the leg. The rise is a little higher, and the taper from the knee down is more noticeable. The WL-001 keeps things more roomy and relaxed throughout the lower leg, giving it a slightly more balanced profile overall.
| WL-001, size 31 | BDD B-02, size 31 | Difference | |
| Waist | 84.0 cm (33.1”) | 85.0 cm (33.5”) | +1.0 cm (+0.4”) |
| Front Rise | 26.4 cm (10.4”) | 29.5 cm (11.6”) | +3.1 cm (+1.2”) |
| Back Rise | 40.0 cm (15.7”) | 40.0 cm (15.7”) | 0.0 cm (±0.0”) |
| Thigh | 33.0 cm (13.0”) | 32.0 cm (12.6”) | –1.0 cm (–0.4”) |
| Knee | 23.5 cm (9.3”) | 22.0 cm (8.7”) | –1.5 cm (–0.6”) |
| Hem | 21.0 cm (8.3”) | 20.5 cm (8.1”) | –0.5 cm (–0.2”) |
If you’ve worn the B-02 before and liked its straightforward top block but want something with less taper through the leg, the WL-001 could be a smart next step.
The waist on both jeans runs about two inches larger than the tagged size (give or take)—whatever size you wear in the B-02, you’ll likely want the same in my jeans.
SAMURAI S510XX
The S510XX is one of Samurai’s most traditional fits—cut with a high rise, wide leg, and a slightly tapered but straight-feeling silhouette. It’s the kind of cut that pairs naturally with heavy-duty denim, and in the 21 oz. unsanforised version, it really leans into that rugged heritage appeal.
It’s a cut that’s evolved very little over the years, and for good reason: it’s built for movement, durability, and old-school denimheads who like their jeans full of character and comfort.
Samurai S510XX vs. Weirloom WL-001
Despite its reputation as a bold, traditional fit, the S510XX isn’t actually that far off from the WL-001. The rise is a little higher, and the hem slightly wider, but the differences in waist, back rise, and even the thigh are relatively modest.
| WL-001, size 31 | S510, size 33 | Difference | |
| Waist | 84.0 cm (33.1”) | 83.5 cm (32.9″) | –0.5 cm (–0.2″) |
| Front Rise | 26.4 cm (10.4”) | 28.2 cm (11.1″) | +1.8 cm (+0.7″) |
| Back Rise | 40.0 cm (15.7”) | 39.4 cm (15.5″) | –0.6 cm (–0.2″) |
| Thigh | 33.0 cm (13.0”) | 31.9 cm (12.6″) | –1.1 cm (–0.4″) |
| Knee | 23.5 cm (9.3”) | 23.0 cm (9.1″) | –0.5 cm (–0.2″) |
| Hem | 21.0 cm (8.3”) | 21.6 cm (8.5″) | +0.6 cm (+0.2″) |
The WL-001 feels a bit more streamlined through the seat and thigh, with a more modern shape overall—but if you’re used to the S510XX, the transition will feel natural.
The 510 runs small and follows traditional Japanese sizing—so you’ll likely need to size down two to get the right size in the WL-001.
JAPAN BLUE J401
The J401 is part of Japan Blue’s “Circle” line—developed with western body types in mind to create a more tailored fit, with extra attention paid to the shape of the seat and thigh.
This is a modern straight cut with some quirks: a high front rise, sculpted hip, and a bit more taper than you might expect in the lower leg.
Japan Blue J401 vs. Weirloom WL-001
Both jeans aim for a straight-leg silhouette, but the J401 is more structured in the seat and rise. It sits higher at the front and back, and the upper block feels tighter through the hips.
On paper, the thigh and knee look almost identical—but Japan Blue measures the thigh further down the leg, which may understate the actual width at the top block. In practice, the J401 feels more structured through the hips.
It’s also worth noting that the J401 has a zip fly—the WL-001 (and all other jeans on the list) have a button fly.
| WL-001, size 31 | JB J401, size 32 | Difference | |
| Waist | 84.0 cm (33.1”) | 86.0 cm (33.9”) | +2.0 cm (+0.8”) |
| Front Rise | 26.4 cm (10.4”) | 28.5 cm (11.2”) | +2.1 cm (+0.8”) |
| Back Rise | 40.0 cm (15.7”) | 39.0 cm (15.4”) | –1.0 cm (–0.4”) |
| Thigh | 33.0 cm (13.0”) | 33.0 cm (13.0”) | ±0.0 cm (±0.0”) |
| Knee | 23.5 cm (9.3”) | 24.0 cm (9.4”) | +0.5 cm (+0.1”) |
| Hem | 21.0 cm (8.3”) | 21.0 cm (8.3”) | ±0.0 cm (±0.0”) |
This is a solid comparison if you’re used to Japanese straights but want something that wears more balanced and neutral—without veering into vintage or workwear territory.
The J401 runs small so you’ll likely need to size down one to get the right fit in the WL-001.
NUDIE STEADY EDDIE
The Steady Eddie II is one of Nudie’s most popular fits—a relaxed, tapered jean with a clear Scandinavian touch. It’s roomy in the top block, offers a slightly higher rise than average, and tapers steadily from the knee down.
I wore Nudie jeans for years—my own pair of Average Joes (in the same Dry Selvage denim used here) now live in the archive at the Jeans School in Amsterdam. That fabric taught me the value of soaking unsanforised denim before wear.
Nudie Steady Eddie vs. Weirloom WL-001
The top half of these jeans actually lines up more closely than you might expect: the rise and thigh are only slightly larger on the Steady Eddie II.
But the Steady Eddie fit quickly tapers from the knee down, with a significantly slimmer hem and a narrower silhouette through the lower leg compared to the WL-001.
| WL-001, size 31 | Steady Eddie, size 30 | Difference | |
| Waist | 84.0 cm (33.1”) | 84.0 cm (33.1”) | ±0.0 cm (±0.0”) |
| Front Rise | 26.4 cm (10.4”) | 27.8 cm (10.9”) | +1.4 cm (+0.5”) |
| Back Rise | 40.0 cm (15.7”) | 39.6 cm (15.6”) | –0.4 cm (–0.1”) |
| Thigh | 33.0 cm (13.0”) | 31.7 cm (12.5”) | –1.3 cm (–0.5”) |
| Knee | 23.5 cm (9.3”) | 20.7 cm (8.1”) | –2.8 cm (–1.1”) |
| Hem | 21.0 cm (8.3”) | 17.6 cm (6.9”) | –3.4 cm (–1.4”) |
| Inseam | 82.0 cm (32.3”) | 81.2 cm (32.0”) | –0.8 cm (–0.3”) |
If you want something with a similarly comfortable top block but a more traditional straight leg, the Weirloom WL-001 is the fit for you.
The Steady Eddie runs large in the waist—about three inches above the tag size—so you’ll likely need to size up one when moving to the WL-001.
BRAVE STAR TRUE STRAIGHT
The True Straight is Brave Star’s take on an American heritage straight fit—cut with a higher rise, balanced leg, and a classic seat that leans into the workwear roots of denim. It’s a clean and unfussy fit that feels timeless, not trendy.
I’ve followed Brave Star since they started, and the True Straight has always struck me as their strongest and most versatile fit. It’s slightly roomier than a modern slim-straight but much more wearable than most relaxed fits. It’s designed to be lived in, and it shows.
Brave Star True Straight vs. Weirloom WL-001
The two fits line up closely. Both offer a classic straight silhouette with a mid-to-high rise and just a touch of taper. The Brave Star fit has a bit more room in the thigh and a slightly higher rise, but otherwise, the two are remarkably aligned.
| WL-001, size 31 | True Straight (size 31) | Difference | |
| Waist | 84.0 cm (33.1″) | 85.1 cm (33.5″) | +1.1 cm (+0.4″) |
| Front Rise | 26.4 cm (10.4″) | 27.9 cm (11.0″) | +1.5 cm (+0.6″) |
| Back Rise | 40.0 cm (15.7″) | 38.1 cm (15.0″) | –1.9 cm (–0.7″) |
| Thigh | 33.0 cm (13.0″) | 29.8 cm (11.7″) | –3.2 cm (–1.3″) |
| Knee | 23.5 cm (9.3″) | 22.2 cm (8.7″) | –1.3 cm (–0.5″) |
| Hem | 21.0 cm (8.3″) | 20.3 cm (8.0″) | –0.7 cm (–0.3″) |
If you’re used to the True Straight, the WL-001 will feel very familiar—just a little more modern through the seat and top block.
The Brave Star waist runs roughly two inches larger than the tag (just like the WL-001), so you’ll want the same size in both jeans.
GUSTIN STRAIGHT
The Straight is Gustin’s more modern straight-leg option—slightly slimmer than their Vintage Straight, but still cut with enough room through the top block and thigh to feel relaxed.
Gustin Straight vs. Weirloom WL-001
The WL-001 and the Straight from Gustin line up closely in the thigh and rise, but the Gustin fit tapers a bit through the leg and finishes with a slightly smaller hem.
| WL-001, size 31 | Straight (size 32) | Difference | |
| Waist | 84.0 cm (33.1″) | 83.8 cm (33.0″) | –0.2 cm (–0.1″) |
| Front Rise | 26.4 cm (10.4″) | 27.0 cm (10.6″) | +0.6 cm (+0.2″) |
| Back Rise | 40.0 cm (15.7″) | 38.5 cm (15.2″) | –1.5 cm (–0.6″) |
| Thigh | 33.0 cm (13.0″) | 33.5 cm (13.2″) | +0.5 cm (+0.2″) |
| Knee | 23.5 cm (9.3″) | 22.9 cm (9.0″) | –0.6 cm (–0.3″) |
| Hem | 21.0 cm (8.3″) | 20.3 cm (8.0″) | –0.7 cm (–0.3″) |
Gustin size their jeans a little smaller than Weirlooms, so you’ll need to size down one from the Gustin Straight to the WL-001.
ONI 622
The 622 is one of Oni’s more modern tapered fits—mid-rise, narrow through the knee, and cut with a leaner silhouette than their more traditional cuts.
Oni 622 vs. Weirloom WL-001
Compared to the WL-001, the 622 is trimmer throughout. The thigh and hem are both noticeably narrower, and there’s a more aggressive taper through the leg. The front rise is quite similar, though the seat sits a bit closer.
| WL-001, size 31 | Oni 622 (size 33) | Difference | |
| Waist | 84.0 cm (33.1″) | 85.0 cm (33.5″) | +1.0 cm (+0.4″) |
| Front Rise | 26.4 cm (10.4″) | 27.0 cm (10.6″) | +0.6 cm (+0.2″) |
| Back Rise | 40.0 cm (15.7″) | 38.6 cm (15.2″) | –1.4 cm (–0.5″) |
| Thigh | 33.0 cm (13.0″) | 31.0 cm (12.2″) | –2.0 cm (–0.8″) |
| Knee | 23.5 cm (9.3″) | 21.9 cm (8.6″) | –1.6 cm (–0.6″) |
| Hem | 21.0 cm (8.3″) | 18.5 cm (7.3″) | –2.5 cm (–1.0″) |
The 622 feels slimmer and sharper overall, while the WL-001 keeps a more balanced straight-leg silhouette.
Oni used Japanese sizing, which means the waist pretty much measures the tagged in incesh—and that means you need to size down two from the 622 to the WL-001.
ORSLOW 105
The 105 is orSlow’s most traditional fit, based closely on the 1960s Levi’s 501. It has a high rise, a slightly curved top block, and a roomy straight leg.
orSlow 105 vs. Weirloom WL-001
The 105 has a significantly higher rise than the WL-001, with a seat that scoops deeper and a looser fit through the top block.
The thigh is a bit wider, but the hem is nearly identical, giving the two jeans a surprisingly similar silhouette from the knee down.
| WL-001, size 31 | orSlow 105 (3/L) | Difference | |
| Waist | 84.0 cm (33.1″) | 85.0 cm (33.5″) | +1.0 cm (+0.4″) |
| Front Rise | 26.4 cm (10.4″) | 29.2 cm (11.5″) | +2.8 cm (+1.1″) |
| Back Rise | 40.0 cm (15.7″) | 42.6 cm (16.8″) | +2.6 cm (+1.0″) |
| Thigh | 33.0 cm (13.0″) | 34.5 cm (13.6″) | +1.5 cm (+0.6″) |
| Hem | 21.0 cm (8.3″) | 21.5 cm (8.5″) | +0.5 cm (+0.2″) |
The WL-001 offers a more modern feel through the seat and rise—and orSlow uses a different sizing system.
LVC 1947 501 (Made in Japan)
The 1947 501 reproduction from Levi’s Vintage Clothing is a mid-century classic: higher rise, narrower seat, and a straight leg.
The ‘Made in Japan’ version is cut and sewn in Kojima, with high attention to detail and a distinctly rigid fit that breaks in over time.
LVC 1947 501 vs. Weirloom WL-001
The 1947 501 is narrower everywhere. The thigh and top block fit closer, the front rise is slightly higher, and the taper from knee to hem is more pronounced.
Compared to the WL-001, it feels more vintage and … restrictive—especially before breaking in. The WL-001 offers a more contemporary and wearable straight fit.
| WL-001, size 31 | 1947 501, size 34* | Difference | |
| Waist | 84.0 cm (33.1″) | 85.0 cm (33.5″) | +1.0 cm (+0.4″) |
| Front Rise | 26.4 cm (10.4″) | 28.2 cm (11.1″) | +1.8 cm (+0.7″) |
| Back Rise | 40.0 cm (15.7″) | 38.7 cm (15.2″) | –1.3 cm (–0.5″) |
| Thigh | 33.0 cm (13.0″) | 32.3 cm (12.7″) | –0.7 cm (–0.3″) |
| Knee | 23.5 cm (9.3″) | 21.0 cm (8.3″) | –2.5 cm (–1.0″) |
| Hem | 21.0 cm (8.3″) | 20.0 cm (7.9″) | –1.0 cm (–0.4″) |
*Measurements are estimated post-shrinkage.
The Japanese-made 1947 501 is unsanforized and will shrink as much as 10%. Plus, it runs small, so you need to size down at least two probably three sizes for the WL-001.
Naked & Famous TRUE GUY
Naked & Famous’s True Guy fit is their relaxed straight cut—high rise, generous seat, and a big 1950s-style top block. It’s one of their most comfort-focused silhouettes, typically paired with their signature heavyweight or novelty denim.
N&F True Guy vs. Weirloom WL-001
The True Guy has a significantly higher rise and a fuller seat. It feels almost oversized compared to the WL-001, especially above the knee. The hem is also slightly wider, giving it a blockier silhouette.
| WL-001, size 31 | True Guy, size 31 | Difference | |
| Waist | 84.0 cm (33.1″) | 85.0 cm (33.5″) | +1.0 cm (+0.4″) |
| Front Rise | 26.4 cm (10.4″) | 30.5 cm (12.0″) | +4.1 cm (+1.6″) |
| Back Rise | 40.0 cm (15.7″) | 45.0 cm (17.7″) | +5.0 cm (+2.0″) |
| Thigh | 33.0 cm (13.0″) | 35.6 cm (14.0″) | +2.6 cm (+1.0″) |
| Hem | 21.0 cm (8.3″) | 22.3 cm (8.8″) | +1.3 cm (+0.5″) |
The WL-001 is more balanced top-to-bottom, with a modern seat and just the right amount of ease.
The True Guy is sized similarly to the WL-001, so you probably need the same size.
