I normally wear a 38 and like the fit to be slightly loose in the crotch and thigh area, also prefer shorts that stop at knee, these fit the bill?

The sizing is "generous" and should be loose. As to the length...well, it depends on how tall you are! I'm 5'6" and the shorts are just below my knees.

I was told to get the next size up which I did and I LOVE these...very comfortable, and glad I followed the advice.

Based on your preferences, I would have to say that you would not be happy with the Propper tactical shorts. I don't think they are overly tight in the crotch or thighs, but they aren't loose. I will say, at least for me they stop at the knee. Try some TruSpec brand and I think you will be pleased.

they are pretty tight on me and I'm a 34 waist. I ordered a medium. I think you could do either but a large would work better wouldn't be so tight. I have skinny thighs so if you have larger ones I would get the large

You order for comfort. What size underwear shorts do you wear? I would base my size then on that. I have a little over a 38 waist and I have used XL because I don't like tight fitting underwear or supporters.

The hip size determined it for me. If you are smaller than 38" you could probably wear a large. Your height should not be a problem because I had way too much leg length and they crumpled up a bit.

I wear a size 8 in regular pants, and the Size L fits a little bit loose on me. Also, the crotch is quite short, so I thought a medium might be a little restrictive for me.

I am a 33 waist and the medium fits.But the bigger problem for me was the length. They really don't give good hamstring coverage. Hope that helps

The medium I ordered was a good fit with plenty of room for adjustment, expand or contract. I have biker thighs. A small size would probably work

Hi there, I would say they fit/sit just marginally below the waist... very comfortable shorts.

I'm going to buck the trend and say go medium. I ordered large and they are too loose and ride up too high. Medium fits me just right (6'1", 185).

You're the same size as my husband. He says they fit perfectly. The best part is that the bike shorts underneath are completely separate from the shrts. You will like these.

I wear a size 4 or an XS in street clothing, but I wear an S in these shorts (and most sportswear). They fit me perfectly. So I'm guessing these shorts are probably a 4-6 and a medium would be an 8-10. If you get the right size, you will love them. My oldest pair is probably four years old and still looks new, despite being worn once a week all this time.

Yes but they do not have padding on the outside thigh and hip area like sliding shorts do. I use these for MMA fighting. I love them. Mediums are between 32 and 34.

I have a 35 waist and bought XL. They fit well. My legs are not thin, probably medium to above average.

I have a 36 inch waist and got the large and they were just the right size so they would probably be super tight on a 38, I'd get the xl just to have the extra breathing room.

Hi Anastacia. The shorts have a little give but they don't have to fit you snug to work. I suggest you order the large and work your way down to a small. You can do it!

These shorts will easily fit 38 to 40 inch waist size ( men ). There's some leeway if the man has a " big tummy " since they can slip down a bit or you can pull them up a little.

I would go for the medium. I am a 35" hip and a 27" waist and I took the small, they were quite comfortable.
