    35 and 28 are no way closer.May be you slipped some where while measuring.BTW,the fitting varied from brand to brand.Get a pair of moustache jeans.If your waist is 32,it's 30 size will be well fitted on the other hand go for a pair of Levis or Flying machine,you may need 34.
    .
    I can tell you one thing with assurance.No fabric can stretch 7 inches until and unless it's made out of rubber.Get the measurement done correct.

    I believe because the fabric can stretch. I can wear stuff too that's smaller than my waist. Maybe some articles of clothing are built that way, to cater to more people. Otherwise, no one would buy them.

    But I suggest you measure yourself again, or ask a friend to do it for you. A little double checking wouldn't hurt.

    It could be vanity sizing, which has plagued women's clothing for quite some time, and has even spread to men's clothing. Vanity sizing is the practice of putting smaller size numbers on larger clothing, and the more upscale designers do this to a greater extent than lower-prices brands. Vanity sizing caters to the fear of obesity.
