I was really wanting a pair until I saw you decided to make the sizing smaller. Not just on these, but so many of them. How truly disappointing.The sizing has not been made smaller - the waists came up too big in the last batch - the waists on this batch are in line with our other jeans - which we have also not changed. If you need more help with sizing please email us direct.Fabric was limited.We had to make a decision on what was the most popular sizes so we could only make up to size 34.Size 36 and up just does not sell as well.We cant make such a popular jean as the Norma in an unpopular shape.I am sorry you are disappointed.
