Size down 1 if you're buying these since the waistband is stretchy and not constricting. I usually wear a 30W. Tried one both the 30W and 29W and the 29W fit much much nicer. The 30W pair had way too much room and I could easily take the shorts off without unbuttoning them.

Also, I own a pair in the 30W and the shorts look longer than they actually are because they sit much lower on my waist. Which makes the material look bulky and not flattering.. So, size down!

The Khaki "lion" color is much darker than what it looks like in the picture. The material is pretty solid though.
