I'm generally a 34/34 (with a small turn up).
I have one pair of Gustin Jeans. American Heavy, 16.25oz. I bought them in 34 straight. Gustin sizing here. They came out pretty much exactly as advertised. I wear them just about every day, and they have stretched to be comfortable (very slightly too loose).
The problem I have is that the 34s come with a long 36 leg. I am too OCD to have them hemmed, so I have a double turn up. Sounds like you may not have issues on the leg front if you are worried about length.
I took a punt on the 33s, because they have a 34 leg and if they came as advertised, they should have a 34 waist, which would stretch to about a 35. Snug, but within reason.
Unfortunately, they turned up today as a true/small 33. I could close the button (just), but they were too tight to even consider wearing in polite company.
This is the issue with experimenting and having to wait for 2+ months for a result.
