Does anyone know if I should size up in these pants...have never ordered his 24/7 before...I usually wear a P12 but looking at hips it looks like a P14.  Thanks for any info. you can give me.

@tampalady  I would check the waist size and go with the one closest to your measurement.  I have a couple of his 24/7, but they are pants, and the "slim" fit ones are a little tight in the legs, but the waist is fine, and the regular fit are a better fit, but if I went up a size, the waist would be too big.

 

If you carry more of your weight in your stomach area, I would go with the 14, and if your waist is slim, go with the 12.

 

You'll love his 24/7 pants!

Size 12 hip measures 40.5 inches.  Would size 14 at 42 inches fit better?  

 

Look at the actual garment measurements on the website.

Thank you for info.   My hips are 42, sometimes I can wear a 40 depending who makes them.  Did not know how tight these would be. I will go back and look at the waist more carefully.

I would go with the 14.  If you find them a little too big, they will shrink a little if you put them in the dryer for a short time.  In pants, I am between a P12 and a P14.  I have tons of Issac's 24/7 pants and I always go with the P14.  Love these pants - fabric and colors.  I have the pants in long, ankle and crops

I have 4 or 5 pairs of Isaac's 24-7pants bought at different times.  No matter how I wash/dry them they come out such a wrinkled mess, they can't be worn without ironing them.  I've tried air drying and machine drying and a combo of both.  It baffles me how anyone could love them.  You couldn't give me another pair.

Thank you, Kathy23 & Kachina....I did order the 14 which I hate to do....makes me feel fatter.   I will find out about the dryer and wrinkles when I get them.   Hope I will like them or they will go back.

@tampalady sorry I am here late.  Maybe not too late.  I bought 24-7 once and they ran big on my regular size.  Lots of stretch, falling off.  So I wouldn't go up a size.  I didn't care for the material.  They were also "noisy" as I walked, when the legs passed each other.  Once was enough.

 

Good luck!

Thanks to all for advice... I did order and if not a correct fit for me they will be going back.
