I followed what the other buyers said about these pants ordering one size up.  They do fit well.  Im a 34 waist and ordered 36.  They are what I was expecting.  I didn't like the buttons that came on the "laced" sides.  I thought they looked too much or too "feminine".  That's not sellers fault.  Just my personal preference.  I just cut them off and now I think they look good.  Can wear em goin out to shows and concerts and my goth outfits.  A+ for the price.
