Hubs really likes these, but we could buy two  of the Amazon brand for the price of one of these. We opted for the cheaper ones simply to save money. They run a bit large. 38 fits my husband in every other brand. Levi's 38 was virtually falling off (he has a well shaped butt which managed to hold them up while trying them on - barely). We considered ordering a 36 to see if they were a full size larger, but since we opted for the cheaper Amazon brand, I can't say how much too large they run.
