The MAXCT grey bow side-stripe sweatpants have an unusual size chart: every waist entry is a range, while each hip and full-length entry is one number. That makes “my waist fits two rows” a normal result rather than a decision. The product photos show a gathered waistband, contrasting stripes down the sides and bow details near the lower outer legs. The useful question is which row leaves enough room where you need it and puts the decorated hem where you want it.

Read the three columns separately

The source lists the following centimetre values for S–2XL. Its waist ranges overlap substantially. The listing does not say whether those endpoints describe the garment at rest and at stretch, recommended body sizes, or another measuring method. Treat them as listed ranges, not proof of how tightly the waistband will feel. The hip and length numbers also lack a measuring diagram.

Each size step moves both waist-range endpoints by 2 cm, the hip figure by 3 cm and the length by 1 cm. Consider a 70 cm waist: it falls inside all five listed ranges. That single figure cannot select a size. If the L and XL rows are your candidates, the comparison that matters is 99 versus 102 cm at the hip and 96 versus 97 cm in length. Check those numbers against a pair of trousers whose room and hem position you already like. A numerical match is only a starting point because the listing does not define whether its values refer to body or finished garment.

Make a decision from the part that can fail

1. Start with hip room. If your reference trousers fit comfortably at the hip, record that measurement using a consistent route. Compare it with the listed hip column, and avoid choosing a smaller row merely because its waist range includes your number.
2. Check the waist range. Look for the candidate row’s listed interval, then ask for a flat-waist measurement and a stretched-waist measurement if waistband feel is decisive. The photo suggests gathering; it cannot establish stretch force or comfort.
3. Check the lower-leg placement. Measure a reference pair’s full outside length while wearing the shoes you plan to use. The side bows sit near the hems in the gallery. A shorter or longer break changes where those details appear relative to your shoes. The source gives no inseam or rise, so request those if you need a precise hem position.

For example, a shopper considering L and XL might already own trousers with the preferred 102 cm hip room and 97 cm outside length. The XL row matches those two figures numerically; both L and XL can still include a 70 cm waist. Confirm the chart’s measurement method before treating XL as a fit recommendation. If the source numbers are body recommendations rather than garment dimensions, direct comparison with a laid-flat pair may mislead.

What the listing establishes

The live options show Grey in S, M, L, XL and 2XL. The source names cotton and polyester, without a blend percentage or fabric-weight figure. The images establish the side stripes, bow placement and gathered-looking waist, but do not prove that the bows adjust the leg opening or how the fabric behaves after washing. Use the current product images and available sizes to check the look, and ask for the missing measuring diagram or fabric details when they would change your choice.
