I bought a pair of PXL jeans. They are a tad snug. I was looking at garment specs and it looks like the P1X has almost the exact same measurements. This doesn't make any sense . Has anyone tried both of these sizes? Are they actually different? The 2x jumps 4" in almost every measurement. That seems like a big jump and I'm thinking the 1x must be a tad bigger than the XL.

@lynettey.  Check out the sizing in the rise.  Usually the XL is much shorter than a 1X, which could make you feel as though your pants are slipping down your backside,  which they may in fact, be doing.

Thank you. I didn't look at that, just noticed the waist and hips are identical. A size 2x being 4" bigger would be huge. Seems like the 1x should be somewhere in the middle.

Now I'm more confused. The XL has a longer rise than the 1x, according to what they have listed.

WIKI has a whole page on closthing sizes and the rationale behind the sizing. Google ....

Sounds like someone is going to be returning their jeans....

I find that jeans (any brand) are the most confounding item to purchase, especially if you go "by size"...

There is virtually no difference between the XL and 1X.  I believe XL is 1 in j smaller on the waist.  It's always been that way.  I know because for years that was the size I wore and they were the exact same fit.  I don't know why they do it.

XL and 1X are very similar. 1X is usually a little roomier in the hips.
