Read reviews about medium to tight in waist and large too wide everywhere. Yep they're true. I order online for pickup in store, th gray OC chino with partial elastic back waist. Per size guide I fit a LARGE, so that's what I ordered. REVIEW info is based on large not medium. Picked up at sto...re and decided hey, I might as well try on here just in case of sizing. So I grabbed the medium gray to compare to large I purchased. The medium fit less wide, itlooked like a straight shape cut. in hip and thigh, snugger in waist to make sitting uncomfortable, but looked good standing. The large easily had 3 inches extra in waist. Thighs and hips went wider . Definitely became a different shaped cut, it wad obviously curved out at hips and stayed that way until taper at ankle. The crotch on large landed lower than anatomically correct if waist placed slightly above belly button. So yeah BIG difference between medium and large sizes. It seemed that the large pattern itself was based on curvy fit, vs a straight fit on the medium?! I returned large, and didn't buy the medium. Cute pants, length in medium regular fit my 31" leg inseam ok. No clue if it shrinks after washing or dryer
