I like these jeans. They are durable, comfortable, and good looking. The length suits me perfectly. The waist runs small. This has been my experience with other Carhartt jeans as well. I suggest you buy a size that's two inches bigger in the waist than what you normally wear. After 1-2 wash cycles the jeans should fit great.
I'm 6'-0" and 180lbs. My normal jean size is 34" x 32".
