As a fellow 32x30er, I can assure others that this is a "from-the-factory" problem. I have two newly purchased pairs, one is very fitted, and the waistband on the other gets crumpled when I tighten my belt.
541 jeans are manufactured in two plants. One is in Vietnam and one is in Pakistan. The same measurements are always 2 different sizes. The Pakistani pants are always smaller. Those are my personal findings.
I used to resell clothes on eBay and men’s Levi’s were one of my things. I’ve handled and measured dozens of pairs and can confirm, they are all over the place. Like, 4 inches off in the waist for the same tag size. The same model number can also be a different weight and quality as well. So just because you have a pair of 505s that you like doesn’t mean you can just order another and expect it to be the same size or denim or construction quality.
