I already had another pair of Hanes sweatpants in this exact style that fit perfectly so I ordered these in the same size. Unfortunately, the pairs I ordered fit very oddly; the legs were about the same as the pair I already had but the waist was huge! Perhaps there were just some defective pairs and I happened to get 3 of them, but to err on the side of caution I'd advise against buying these. I am returning the pairs I ordered since the waist is so big they'd slide down if I wore them.
