It's nice to see a company use a lot of fabric for their product when things seem so small these days. Very big for my husband was really very big so I would have scaled down. He usually takes a size XL, but he likes this as tight as possible, and he's 5'6" and still has plenty of room in the waist, crotch, and inseam! They're a little thinner than I expected, but my husband says they're comfortable and his, so go for it!
