I thought that too, until I actually measured my waist because I needed to buy some hunting pants online. I've worn the same size Levi's since I was 15 years old, and I figured that was my actual waist size. It's not. Measure yourself and compare it to the waist size of your jeans. They don't match up.

Are you measuring your waist or your hips? Counterintuitively the waist measurement is not where your trousers actually sit.
