I bought these Lee Premium select jeans in one size up as I always do with Lee jeans. Lee have some great looking pants but they tend to make the back of the jeans where my gluts are and the legs at the top of the jeans too small. I always buy them a little bigger as they shrink as well. These need a belt but I always wear one anyway. The fabric in these jeans is really good and they fall really well. I think Dickies make a better fit for the guy who is built and a little more athletic. They don't have some of the fabrics and styles that Lee have though. The fabric and the cut of some Lee jeans can be compensated by buying one size up. The opening at the bottom of the leg  of the premium select jeans is about one or two inches wider than the regular fit and they look good being slightly bigger. The style of Lee and some of their fabrics make them a very acceptable buy. Lee though I have found a little tight in the gluts and the legs but the waist is OK. If you have the same problem with Lee get them one size up. You will not be disappointed but you'll need a belt. These look great. Very Stylish
