  • Sizing is larger than what you measure
Size: 42 Color: Charcoal
So I measured my waist and my hips with a tape measure. Waist: 44 Hips: 42. I normally wear Levi's (36x30) at my hips, so I ordered size 42. They arrived in size 42, which was correct. But when I put them on at the hips, they are way too large, like, I can fit a softball between my body and the shorts' waistband. When I pull them up to my waist, they are just a bit loose. SO, my figuring is that they are sized a bit more than 2 inches larger than reality. I'll send them back and get a size 40 to see what happens. I'll review those as well so you can see my results. I'll also not be ordering relaxed fit 11" inseam instead of loose fit 13" inseam. These loose fit 13" inseam feel/look like I'm wearing my mother's culottes, as they end 3 or 4 inches below my knees! Nothing wrong with that--just not my tempo... EDIT: I actually tried different sizes on at a big box store; I found that 38 waist relaxed fit 13" inseam fits best. Just a little bit of extra wiggle room. Again, I measure 42" at my hips, and the size 38 sits on my hips just right. Otherwise, Dickies make fantastic affordable shorts and pants! Tough as nails, and comfortable (once you figure out your size). I'm fairly rough with them; skateboarding serves as my quality test, and Dickies last forever. I'm having to figure out my size because I'm buying my first new ones ever; I've always just bought them at thrift stores before, so I never really knew what I was getting, just looking for the Dickies tag and trying different ones on until I found the ones that fit. ... show more

  • GREAT WORK SHORTS.
Size: 40 Color: Charcoal
Best shorts I EVER OWNED. ¾ length on me and LOOSE, just like I like 'em. And they wear like IRON. Super comfy too. Maybe "Work Shorts" but I wear them every day. Hiking too.

  • Super Long
Size: 46 Color: Charcoal
Figured the 15 seem was too long so I ordered these 13 inch ones. I’m over 6 foot and these still hang about 5 inches below the knee. They are almost to the point of women capri pants. I wear a 42 Jean and ordered these in 46 and they fit just right. They do run super small. Just beware of them being super long. ... show more
