American Eagle to Wrangler jeans size

The short answer

American Eagle 12 is Wrangler 30 by the two brands' own charts.

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 Wrangler. US numeric sizes on the left, Waist size on the right.
