I purchased these pants along with a tan pair in a size 10 husky originally. A size 10 husky has a 28 inch waist. The tan pair fit, although not perfectly. The blue pair were very small. I purchased a second pair in a size 12 husky which is supposed to have a 29 1/2 waist. When I received that pair it was labeled as a 12H and this pair was a 27 inch waist. Obviously a quality control problem. These items run small and do not have the extra room husky items are supposed to have. I based my purchase on amazon's size chart.
