Oh, Levi's jeans fit is a subject of its own. I think I've currently got about 6 different pairs (few 501s, then some 541 and a "Commuter", whatever the number was back then). Waist 36 sometimes ends up tighter than 35 or even 34, depending on cut and the stretchiness of the fabric.
Specially with Silca being a cycling company, I think a lot of people here will be all too familiar with the phenomenon of "chicken legs" and how to find a pair of trousers to fit them into :-)

I used to love my Gore biking shorts, so when I was in the market for a pair of running shorts, and saw Gore made those too, I ordered the same size and fit was the same. I have similar experience with Decathlon, a French sports goods store, that also make their own products. Ditto for Nike, where my basketball shoes are the same size as my running shoes – bought several years apart.
