I purchased a pair of these shorts at a local golf shop because of how they fit . I decided to buy two more on Amazon and they fit the exact same as the ones I purchased in the store. They're slightly more snug around the waist with a looser fit in the groin/backside area. I have larger rear end and a smaller waist. I have a hard time finding shorts that fit my body. These are by far the best golf shorts I've found. I'm 5'9", 195 lbs with a 34 waist but I always have to buy at least 36 shorts because of my bubbly rear end. The material on these shorts is great too ... they feel like a well made, expensive pair of shorts. The stretch waist doesn't stretch that much, but it does help when golfing or bending ... not so rigid. I would highly recommend these shorts.
