And 32 is your Jeans size as well, right? What model number is the short?

[JCMx800]

Yes.
I think its the 311…

their sizing has changed as of late.  so if you go on ebay looking at vintage or used pairs keep that in mind.  it used to be that you would need to order up 2" from your normal waist size.  I was normally a true 32 so i would have to order a 34.  not sure why they changed it since they'd been doing it that way for decades but now you can just order your true waist size.  it's alot easier.

@Max Power  That is definitely a 311 that @JCMx800 is wearing.

if i were to give one critique of the newer updated trunks it would be that they replaced the velcro fly with buttons.  i could see them getting torn or rubbed off after surfing in them for a while.

Thanks mate

yes!!

@Giles how accurate is the sizing on these? I'm considering buying some but don't want the cost/hassle of returning if I get the fit wrong, so would ordering my IH size (36) be the right approach?

[Giles]

I'm typically IH tag 33.  I ordered 34.  2 pairs are perfect, one pair is too small….So variable....

Thanks G, looks like 37 would work for me

Probably a dumb question, but do these shrink at all?
