American Eagle to Gap jeans size

The short answer

American Eagle 2 is Gap 0 by the two brands' own charts. 8 of 10 American Eagle sizes land on a different label at Gap.

Both brands publish the body waist each size is cut for, so every row matches a waist, not a tag.

Every American Eagle size read across to Gap. US numeric sizes on the left, US numeric on the right.
