Question: how do jean sizes work?
Answer: With regard to the W/L size, W stands for waist width (it comes from Waist = W ) and L stands for leg length (L = Length). ... For example, if you have a jeans size 36/32, the number 36 means that you have a waist width of 36 inches. The number 32 then corresponds to a leg length of 32 inches.
