I wear a 38 or 40 waist in jeans but I had to order these in 42 so I could use the buttons on the side (spare tire? Nah.). I also ordered them in 34 inseam rather than 32 but I'm glad I did. So I'd say a bit undersized. They are also very stiff when new. I ran them through the wash once and now I'm breaking them in. I figure it may take me a few months to get them just right, but it'll be worth it.

I dress nice at work every day. Not suits, but just lacking the tie and coat. So when I get home I get rid of that costume and hop into more comfortable clothes like old army cammo pants or shorts during the summer. I love my BDUs, but wearing them all the time kinda makes you feel like a militia wanna be. (I'm not, I just like that you can spill anything on cammos and it doesn't look dirty. Further, the reinforced seat is genius.) I have a few other comfort pants, but I won't regress to sweatpants. I do a bit of mechanical work so I figured I'd try overalls. I'm glad I did. It's like being 8 years old again except not in blue and white striped Oshkosh B'gosh railroad overalls.

The only reason I don't give them 5/5 stars is that I don't like the buckles. They seem cheap. I'm not super talented with a needle and thread but I can sew up a hole or tear. I was considering putting some aftermarket buckles. Nothing too flashy. No rhinestones or chrome. But something with the old style button and loop.
