Guess Lincoln slim straight jeans

I bought these awhile back when covid hit. However, at the time, I wasn't allowed to try on in store. unfortunately the waist band size was very misleading saying that it was a waist band size of 34 but when I tried them on it felt more like 2 sizes above of what it was supposed to be potentially 3 sizes please read this information so there is no miss communication. I'd say it's a size US 36 waist.
