I would return the pants if I could, unfortunately I've never NOT fit into a size 36 before so I had taken off all the tags/stickers/etc. off the pants before trying them on.  Stupid me.

That being said, my ONLY complaint is that this 36 feels more like a 34/35. 36 is usually a perfect  fit for me or sometimes a little loose but just a little.

This is the first time I've put on a pair of 36w pants where I couldn't actually button the button or zip up the zipper all the way.  I even had to do the "Jump and tug".  You know...where you have to jump and then tug the pants up to get them on....which was a bad sign by itself.

Now OTHER than that, the pants are nice.  They look great and the parts that fit on me, felt great lol.

Now this could just be a fluke, maybe it's a pant that got the wrong size put on it or any other of the 100 things that can go wrong during production, but the pair I received most certainly isn't a 36w.
