I bought these with a bit of concern about the reviews saying they shrink, but they didn't for me. I typically wear 36x32 pants and the large-32 pants are perfect.  If anything they are a touch big both in the waist and length. I assumed that they would shirk a bit when I first tried them on, but if they did I cant tell. They are loose fitting and made of a nice lightweight material. Im only one washing in so maybe they will shrink some in future washes. I used the gentle-permanent press cycle and hung them to dry, hitting them with an iron while still damp to reduce the wrinkles. They are linen so they wrinkle, and take a while to dry. Id definitely buy them again.
