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.

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

I wear 33 but bought 32 of the nike pants. I recommend you try on before you buy or choose 30 rather than 32.

These shorts, which I like a lot, are roomy in the seat and thighs, and I don't think there's anything you can do about that. But they do run a little large. I wear a 2x waist in most cases (it depends on where pants are made, etc., etc. I'm a big guy), and I bought the 2x. They fit great when I put them on. What I find is that, because they're made of cotton, the waist stretches throughout the day, enough for me to cinch my belt one hole tighter sometime in the middle of the day. But as I say, I love these shorts, and I'm okay with them loosening up somewhat. But a 1X or an XL would have been to smalll for me, even though they run somewhat large. Hope this is helpful.

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.

You will probably be okay with the small unless you are a bigger guy. I am a large stature runner with large thighs and gluted so I have to buy up one size in most brands of running shorts.

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 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.

Well, I am size 38 in jeans too I get Large size and it fit good now if you want it a little tighter a Medium will work, I'm not sure about the belly but it give you a good hit on the lower part of the belly.

I wear a 38 and ordered a large which fits, but tends to be snug in the waist. If you are closer to 40, a size larger will be more comfortable.

I have a 36 inch waist and the XXL's work for me, loose, but not too baggy. I have two pairs.

I wear about a 38 waist & bought a size large. The fit is good except while biking. My thighs take up the entire pant leg and stretch it just slightly. They fit fine in the waist and for walking around, though I would only call them baggy relative to lycra bike shorts. Next time I will buy and XL. Hope this helps.

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

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

They are pretty true to size. I would order a 33". They have a draw string to make them tighter. I purchased a 38" and have recently dropped one waist size to a 36", I'm still able to wear them and make them tighter. These shorts are really comfortable.
