Based on the reviews saying the waistband was small/stiff/tight, I ordered a Large instead of my usual Medium. Way too big but definitely tall girl friendly, like dragging on the floor. The crotch area is also long. I’m 5’9, long legs, 170 pounds and will probably be returning for my regular medium size. The waistband doesn’t have stretch but is also not as “stiff” as many others have noted. Good quality, slightly heavy, strings don’t flatter the pants.

If you have thick thighs I don’t recommend I couldn’t get the pants all the way up
