In spite of what other reviews say, these pants DO NOT RUN TRUE TO SIZE.  The pants run 2 inches larger than the actual measured size. (A "size 34" is actually 36 inches at the waist.) I guess the comments about the pants running small come from people who are used to the vanity sizes used by many manufacturers, which are often 3-4 inches smaller than measured sizes, but to get pants that fit, actually measure the waist on a pair that fit you, with the waistband stretched tight when you do the measuring,  then order a size 2 inches down from the size you measured. Note that the prices at Orchard Supply Hardware (yes, you can buy pants in a hardware store) are as good as this vendor's prices, and you can actually look at the pants before you buy them. My local OSH stocks only the "bark" and dark-brown colors, though).
