Ive not ever received a satisfying answer to this because what im discussing has nothing to do with tag sizes or vanity sizing, which is all the answer ive ever gotten, but im not going based on what the tags say, im going based on what the measuring tape says. Its just raw measurements. Im usually a modern 31 to 32 tag size, which measures anywhere between 1 to 2 inches larger, and a vintage 34, which actually measures being much closer to the 32 or 33. Its not a low rise vs high rise thing either because my pants are all mid and high rise and no matter what a pant that measured at 34 inches with my tape feels loose, so what gives? I wrap the tape around my waist and it measures at 34 inches, yet the pants that fit right measure at 32 to 32.5

The goods sonoma tank i tried is good for what it is, but its still not perfect, it has the benefit that I will not care what happens to it, so i will wear them to work, but for personal use im still searching. I want a nice cream almost white color, a ribbed neckline is preferable, something that has no side seams, and something that doesnt feel like its going to rip apart at the seams that it does have. I feel like my standards are way too high for something that is intended to be underwear, but I dont know. I feel like thats where the details are most important. Sure, you can't see most of it, but you CAN feel it, and that matters. I want something that looks and feels half as good as the buck mason tanks, without that price tag.
