I am a 32 waist in jeans. I bought a 32 pair of these and the button fell short about 5 inches. Defect, or is the sizing different?

Sounds like a major defect to be 5 inches short. The pair of pants that I recently received fit perfectly both in the waist and length. The only issue I have with the pants is the extra "relaxed" fit around the legs. I know the pants was designed to be relaxed for tactical purposes but this was a little wider than I expected. Hope this helps.

Probably defect... My husband wears a 32 waist in jeans, and he's had two pairs of these pants in a 32 waist that both fit the same... Just a bit roomier than a 32 jean. (He tried to go down to a 30, but that was much too snug.)

Either it was a defect, or marked wrong, or - pardon me for being forward - you're no longer a size 32? If you haven't grown...out...ask 5.11 for a trade.

well the 40 waist was right, have you measured the 32? i guess its the luck of the draw with what you get.

I would definitely return them. I received some a couple weeks ago and they were great! The quality control of size is lacking. 75% of them are normal size. The rest range from normal to tiny. But, they are much cheaper than "Red Hots" so, I can live with that.

I have worn mine often over the last year and have not had this problem. Maybe it was a defective section of fabric? I would write to the company because I contacted them about a sizing issue and they were responsive.

I'm sorry but don't think I can help. Being 5'8" I took up the stretch in the length so they were too small around the thighs. The company was very kind to return them and refund my money. I wish they would have fit, I liked the style.

The one I have came in a different box then the one shown. The one I got is smaller with the maximum waist size being 39 inches. The one in this box was larger but I don't know the maximum it would fit. So...as long as your waist is a 39 or smaller you should be ok. :)

I'm a male with a 32 waist and I got a medium. When i put it on it felt a little loose but after tightening the draw string it was perfect without any loss of comfort.

I bought the XL, mine measures 43 inches. My waist is 40, they are way too loose. The adjustment works, but taking up 3 whole inches makes them look a little weird. I have to use a belt.

I purchased a medium, waist 30-32, even though I am only 5'8". I was unsure if they would shrink after awhile. I only wore them three times because spring arrived, but I made the right choice in going up one size larger. If I was you I would try one size up because of your height.

mine is very snug and perfect for my use...I do not know why yours is off and perhaps you should exchange it for one that is not defective

Thanks Martha. I like my clothes loose so cinch my jeans down to a 36/37. Do you think the XL is still the right size? What about length? Terry

Hello -- we've had some petite adults say they were ok for them, but as we know everyone is a different size. I'll address this more fully in your email to us, but one quick fix might be to stretch them about a bit (the metal band is flexible). We have a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee so we'll work something out with you of course. Thank you.

Steve I bought a pair of XL and I have a 36 inch waist. They do fit very well. But they do take some getting use to.

I bought a size smaller than I usually wear because of the reviews saying they ran big. Mine fit like a glove, so I can't wear them comfortably over jeans. I would guess that if you bought them in your normal size, wearing them over snug jeans would work fine.

Hi Peter,Can't answer that for you. Myself, I am a 33 waist by 34 Long. My order was Medium in waist and 34 Long. I believe their is enough waist play after me wearing mine with the elastic waist band to help give you the comfort you need. These are my second pair and I really like them for comfort and hiking.

I bought the pants because I like the short so much and the pants are great. The pants are a rather slim fit. For my second pair I'm considering 36" waist instead of my usual 34".

It's hard to say how much they'll stretch. My wrists are 6.5 and plenty tight. They need to be, for the "button" to press hard in the right spot. So they would be tight on you, but another 1.5 inches would be really tight. Do they take returns?

I think a lot has to do how one is built and how the pants are made. In my case I normally wear a women's 24 in jeans. I have tried on jeans that are too tight and say 24. I have a bigger rear end, smaller waist, and my legs are smaller compared to the rest of me (that changes without notice!). They fit me pretty good in the legs but they wouldn't snap due to the top part being smaller on me. They are not hemed and I wish they had been, I hate hemming pants but one does what one must. I hope this helps and good luck to you.
