I have Read reviews and took the advice to order a size up. My boyfriend is 5ft 10, waist 32 - he usually wears a medium size so I ordered a large. They fitted around his waist but were too long (4 inches too long). I sent them back and will be looking for shorter pants in other pants but I loved their soft and cozy feel so much I order a size down - I'm a tall girl and men's pants are always easier to wear. find longer than women! They are so soft inside and out!
