American Eagle to Universal Standard jeans size

The short answer

American Eagle 2 is Universal Standard 0 by the two brands' own charts. 10 of 12 American Eagle sizes land on a different label at Universal Standard.

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

On 5 sizes the charts land two or more sizes from the same label. Brands do not measure the body the same way, so on those rows treat the chart answer and the same label as the two ends of a range.

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

Tinted rows change label or sit between two sizes. Read from the two charts only; no formula and no averaging.
