After looking over customer reviews I decided to order large. Looks like I order a little too large so if this helps anyone. I am a 40" waste I ordered a 44" and it was about 2 inches too big. However seeing the pants I reorder a 42 inch in a blink of an eye. The pants look fantastic!! The pants were a bit darker then in the photo which is fine by me. They were more of a dark chocolate brown rather then a light or golden brown. The darker color really makes the embroidery stand out and pop. Like I said they look great and look to be well made. It's all about the sizing. The only question mark in my mind that will prevent you from ordering a pair for yourself.
