I wear Levi's and Lee jean size 36x34. Based on the advice from this site I ordered 38x34. I immediately washed them in hot water and threw them in the dryer for an hour. They shrank somewhat to fit me just about perfectly. My last overalls (Lee) lasted about 12 years of irregular weekend warrior use in backyard landscaping and household chores. These things feel bullet proof. They look awesome (especially in black, my favorite color). I'm sure they'll last longer than my Lees, but only time will tell. I'll update this review by removing stars if they don't hold up as long as my Lees did.
