Actual measurements may differ from the tag due to potential shrinkage, stretching, hemming, or manufacturer error. It is common for pre-owned jeans to shrink or stretch based on how they were washed/dried/worn from previous owners. If my measurement differs more than 1.5" either way from what the tag says, I will list the items as actual measurements to ensure proper fit. I recommend measuring yourself before ordering online to help find the perfect fit for you. Tagged as 27 inch waist but measures 30 inch waist. Has some light staining as shown in pictures.
