For sizing, I have a 34" inch waist but I fit better into the X-Large size instead of the Large size. This is because these pants are slim fit and skin tight through the thigh and calf. You need fairly skinny legs to wear these or buy the larger sizes. For Halloween karaoke night, I dressed like Rob Halford of Judas Priest with these pants and some matching accessories, including 4" platform rocker black boots. Got good reviews from the ladies that night- the hostess at the bar said I looked awesome when she saw my costume. I highly recommend these pants if you want a rocker look like Judas Priest, KISS or Scorpions and you can fit into them. - J
