The 55 seems the right choice (the 66 would work too). You will need an actual 32 inch waist, as measured. I think current producition is true to size but check with your seller.

(47, 33 waist as measured on left, 55, 32 waist as measured, on right).

Love the color of that 55! The 66 might be what I'm looking for...i think bridging the gap of the two styles? Do you know how much larger the thigh is compared to the 47? heddles scout is giving me 21'' and union made 22.5''

I'd guess the 55 model. Maybe sized down one.

Ok thanks! I'm getting mixed measurements from the sites that carry it...Do you or anyone else know a site w/ an accurate chart?

Hey guys, if any of you LVC experts care to help me it would be greatly appreciated!

I've lost more money on raw denim than I'd care to admit so figured I'd come here for some input...what I'm looking for is a LVC cut that best resembles Marlon Brando's in the wild one...I know, an overused model but to me it's the perfect cut-anti-fit enough to accomodate bigger thighs while still having a fitted seat and high rise. The most flattering silhouette that isn't slim-fit, imo. I've tried the 47 but the thigh is just too slim for the look I want, especially since I'll be washing fairly often to achieve subtle fades. ANY suggestions would be appreciated! 

And if it helps my waist is 32'' (1'' below belly-button) while my upper thigh measures 21.5''
