I will agree with most of the reviewers who comment that the sizing is larger than typical jeans.  If you wear levis and are used to their sizing I would come down one size form that.  (But then again, who doesn't like wearing a smaller size, lol?)  They are very comfortable and well made.  I am happy with them.  Haven't washed them yet so I can't comment on shrinkage.  I bought talls being 5'10" and are happy to report they are PLENTY long enough.  My daughter is 6'3" and we are so tired of "talls" not being really tall.
