The waist size on polar 93 is definitely larger than they say, and/or they just don’t really shrink. If you size up, you will be cranking your belt. The polar 92 is far more tapered than the 93 and resembles a silvertab more than the 93. Levi’s 550 and 560 vary in the taper department depending on where they were made, ones with a more generous taper will note it on the pants somewhere, whether it’s the back tab or size tag inside. Go on Depop, skip the silvertab, look for some 560’s loose fit tapered a size up. Lots made in the USA on there at a reasonable price
