As is often the case in apparel today, a 36" waist is no longer always 36". I'm a very trim 5'10", 160 lb male and have bought other pants and jeans recently. These cords were 34" at best and the rest of the fit was extremely tight as well. So definitely order a size up in the waist.
Ordered 2 pair of these. They are a very tight fitting trouser. Love the fabric. I am 6ft 2inches and 195 lbs. I wear a 34/34 in all my trousers and jeans. I have a thin build/legs . Waist was fine. Legs were more like tights than trousers. Wish they offered a relaxed version for older customers.
Love the fit of these pants! Well made and classic old time look and they age well!
The product is great!!! It does take a while to get, but if you have that in mind, than it’s great…:)
