l am usually a size 32 but these were just too tight in size 32 so l had to return them and get the 34's and they fit pretty well. the only thing l don't like and this is an issue with all dickies pants. they are pretty starchy out of the box and can pretty much stand up on their own, but here is a little trick for that. l brined (soaked in a bucked of salt water) them for about 2-3 days and it loosened them right up and they were ready to wear. so instead of washing them 5 times waiting for them to slowly loosen up over time and get comfortable as you wear them, they were loose and comfortable first time l put them on. BTW l did not brine the 32's so it was not a shrinking issue, they were that way out of the box and l sent them back immediately.
