Northshore sizing question post quarantine

I accidentally packed on some serious poundage during the last several months. Like - to the extent I’ve had to buy new pants and shirts. I’m between a size 34 and 36 pant — I can wear 34s without problem, the 36 is roomier, but will fall down without a belt. When I measure around this belly that’s come out of nowhere, I’m like a 41-42 somewhere in there. Hip size is basically 34. I’ve been comfortable wearing size large SDKs and a few other ABU lines the last few months. I’m thinking about buying some northshore supremes, cause I’m more DL and have grown tired of the prints — definitely fun for a while, though. I’m worried the large will be way too big…but I’m towards the largest end of the mediums (44”). I’ve worn the mediums for years. What should I do, hive mind?

Give them your sizes and ask for samples. I’m in the end zones of small and medium for the Mega Max. They sent me a sample of each and the small felt too tight and the medium too loose. I ordered the medium Supremes which I normally wear and they fit better.

Yeah, i’d get samples…

i though am like a size 36 pants, bit of a belly (220# 5’11").

i wear the med size on the megamax…with plenty of room to spare…dont recall on the supreme sizing per se…

but just ask for a med and large sample and that will eliminate any issues…

they usually dont charge, but if you can order some wipes or something to keep them in the green i know that would be appreciated…i usually will ask for samples when i order if i need any…and they usually send with some samples even not asked…

great to work with…top notch service.

We are similar in size and I find medium Megamax or Conficare 24/7 fit me the best. They are pretty much in between the medium and large of other brands

I agree with polka dot dreams. I was wearing 34 pants but with Covid stay at home I have gone up to 36. The medium megamax have room to spare as they do seem to run a bit larger than the typical mediums. And I also am amazed when I measure around my belly.

iirc northshore isn’t doing samples due to the virus situation. Sounds like size large for supremes though, and size medium for megamax.

I wear a size 38 pants. Similar to you I’m kind of between sizes. 36 is too tight and 38 is too loose. In NS Supremes and Supreme Lites I wear a large. Mediums almost fit me but are a bit tight. You might could pull them off. The larges are really too big on me. That’s why I go with MegaMaxes. I wear a medium in them and they fit very comfortably.
