Very disappointed. I bought a pair of these for PRIDE weekend but I won't be able to show them off since they did not fit. I'm 5'11, thick guy weighing 250lbs, waist size 40. I got the XXL since the size chart stated this was a waist size of 41. I saw some reviews which stated that they ran a bit smaller, so I figured the XXL may fit a bit snug but they were WAY too small. Almost seemed like a true waist size 36-38.The fabric feels great and sexy but I couldn't get the shorts past my legs. I read someone else's review that had the same issue. I even removed the laces to try to get the shorts on but they wouldn't budge past my thigh. I didn't want to rip the fabric trying either so I'm out of luck with these pair of shorts. The size chart is completely misleading & incorrect. Maybe it's more of a true size fit for oriental men.They're made more for scrawny guys as I dont see any man with thick legs getting these on. The fabric is more of a costume, pleather type that doesn't really stretch either. I recommend anyone truly wanting a pair of these to go AT LEAST 2 sizes up for a comfortable fit. Other then that they look great. Would have love to been able to wear them!
