The Amazon sizing chart for these claims the waist for all medium sizes is 32-34. I order them and it says right on the package, 34-36. Well, I think, maybe Amazon has verified that they're cut small or something. I gently ease open the package and try a pair on. No dice--they're blousy, clearly larger than any mediums I've ever worn. If you're like me and find the 32-34 waist is about right but any larger would be loose, definitely order the small size in this brand. AND, HEY AMAZON--READ THE @#*(&%^ PACKAGE AND POST THE MANUFACTURERS STATED SIZE IN THE TEXT OF THE DESCRIPTION. Now I can't find the packing slip and I'll be lucky to get back squat on the order.
