I usually wear size 30, regular or tall pants. Since these have the extra lining, I assumed they'd be tight so I bought a size 32. SO tight in the thigh area - I couldn't bend my knees/sit down. The waist was loose, and they come with a pretty nice belt that I would consider buying separately, but I can't wear these tight pants. Plus, the inner lining is really weird. It's not like any 'fleece' that I've ever seen. I can't get a photo that really shows it, but it looks more like velvet or faux-sSee full review
