I am so confused about what size to pick for my son for the pants.
He's 7. He's not particularly fat or skinny. He's just normal, even on the charts... good old 50%.
Size 7 in RTW he swims in. The size 6 is a bit tight in the waist and a touch short. Basically, he's spot on for size/age in most RTW for pants.
Anyway.... His waist is a 25. When I look at at the size chart a 25 inch waist is a size 12! NO WAY!!!
The finished waist size of a 7 (fully extended) is 28.25 inches. The finished waist size of a 12 is over 30 inches.
I am so confused. If I follow his waist measurement I should be making a 12. But is there really 5 inches of ease in the waist??
Can someone explain this? Is there a sizing typo?
