Hey just wondering has anyone bought MMA shorts from the US

I got a pair that were meant to be 30 waist and the label says 30 but no way are these goina fit me by looking at them id say i would be at least 34

anyways the long and the short of it is there a size difference between here and the US?

thanks.

Shouldn't be, 30 is 30 inches, US inches are the same as everywhere else.

If it was S,M,L than I'd expect US sizes to be bigger than europeans in some brands. But, no idea about the above

thats exactly what i was thinking unless he gets them in thailand where i bought shorts that were 30 and not a fear of them been 30, 34 was the size that fit me...
im waiting on the fat or denial jokes!
but in ireland im 30 lol

I got a pair from the States last year. Can't remember the size (or don't want to) but they fitted grand.

What was the brand? Mine were Warrior.

I ordered sprawl shorts from the uk mind you, I asked for size 30, they sent me 32 but they must of been really a size 26 as they could just about get up my leg!

i dont know i assumed 30 inches was 30 inches all over the world unless there knock off's from thailand or something, they dont feel like the regular material that my other shorts feel like...
they are contract killer shorts

I thought that months training back in August was all i needed!

I think the wrong label must have been sown onto them

yea i ordered fightgirl shorts before and were bigger than i expected despite checking size guide. american inches are different apparently!!

I think it's common knowledge and well established that 30inch waist american jeans (presume same for other clothes) are bigger than 30 inch waist european clothes.

I only ever bought t-shirts, jumpers in the states, and sizing was different.

But I'd never expect jeans to be off. If they were labelled, S/M/L maybe,
But inches are inches (unlike pints, gal. etc)
