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.

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.

I am a very picky individual...don't like to much room in the ass region. The shorts fit nicely. I'm slim, weigh in at about 165, 5'10.

I think the XL will be nice and loose on you. I wear a 36, if that helps you figure out the appropriate size for your waist.

HiLarge if you like it a little loose. Medium would be like compression shorts. I'm 34w and use xlarge

Get medium. The shorts are fundamentally loose by design (they are running shorts after all). More often than not I've found that medium shorts are roomy enough, though it does vary some by manufacturer. Large feels like a kilt.

Hey Jeff, I am about a 30 waist in most jeans and the mediums fit me nicely. I can just get away with not needing a belt. What sold me on these was the leg room at the knees. They aren't baggy, but do really like room to move around in and not feel constricted. Hope this helps!

I would suggest a 38 for a comfortable fit and a 36 if you like a tighter fit. Hope that helps.

They should not be to loose either. If your legs are thick then XXL but then waist might be to big. See my other note.

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 have a size 34 waist, and I bought a size medium. The briefs fit snugly, but not too snugly.

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.

The shorts do run small so, I would go up 2 sizes. I know size 40 doesn't look good on that rear tag but you will enjoy the fit.

The leg openings are fitting. I have thick thighs and they fit me well. the material moves with you. I am an adventure /hiking person and love these shorts.

I believe I am about 29" or 30" waist and 37" or 38" hips. The medium fits me well. I really like these shorts. They have great pockets for tennis balls.

I am probably closer to 35" waist and the Medium fits well - you should have some wiggle room

For 42, I did xxl and I had a very comfortable/loose fit. For length, you have specific length options.
