Review on AKARMY Women's Casual Camouflage Cargo Pants with 8 Pockets for Work and Everyday Wear by Darryl Montagna

The product information might be conflicting, so hopefully I can provide enough information if you're considering purchasing. The product description suggested ordering up a size, but I suppose they mean if you are referencing the Ebay-provided size chart (never use that one, by the way, always look for the seller's size chart in the description or product info). Further down in the product description, they provide their own size chart, which is probably more accurate. I did reference this one, and ordered larger anyway as they suggested, when I apparently didn't need to.As suggested, I purchased a larger size. My waist measurement tends to be between 27-28, hip measurement about 35, and I purchased size 30. I probably would have been just fine with the 28, or even the 27. I'm 5'3" and about 115-120, with a pretty straight figure. These sat right at the widest part of my hips, and probably would fall off on their own if I tried to wear them. If I were to hold them a little below the waist (where I'd like them to sit) there is a good 4 inches of extra material.I decided to measure across the top of the waist with the pants laid flat, and it measured 16.5" across.The material is great though, it's a thick, heavy and soft cotton, and it's surprisingly cool. The hip pockets are very deep!I'm not sure about the cut though: it seems to be cut wider in the thighs and it tapers a bit toward the ankles and it gives a slight "penguin" effect. I have considered that this could be because the size is too large for me. It might appear as a straight leg cut if I try the proper size.I like the material enough that I'm willing to try exchanging sizes. I will update this review once I try a smaller size.UPDATED REVIEW:I re-ordered in size 28, which I normally would have ordered to begin with, but didn't because of the suggestion to order larger. (Photos with the green shirt are of the 28, photos with the black shirt are of the 30.) The 28 sits comfortably just below the navel. Laid, flat, it measures 15" across the top of the waist.This is definitely not a straight-leg pant as it appears in the product photo, or as it says in the description. The hip and thighs are cut significantly wider, and it tapers down to the ankle in an unflattering shape. I was looking for a straight leg pant, and this is not it.It's a shame, because it seems well constructed and I like the material, but the cut is just unfortunate.
