Beware! The size chart attached to this listing is incorrect. According to the chart a medium is 38-40 but the package says 32-34.

I'm sure if you cold wash, and air dry, these might be true to size. I'm normally a L or XL depending on brand. I bought one set of L and they fit perfect, bought another set and they were tight.

These are definitely prone to shrinking fast. If you plan on washing like regular clothes, then these may not be the ones for you. I held these XL's next to another brand I wear and they are 2-3" smaller at the waistband. Not sure if they are just meant to stretch that much, but I talk like a woman when I wear them. So they just sit in the drawer. Are these even made for men??? The more you wash and dry them, the more they shrink. I really wanted to love them since the fabric is stretchy and breathable. see less I'm sure if you cold wash, and air dry, these might be true to size. I'm normally a L or XL depending on brand.

They are very comfortable and I'm normally an Xl and purchased Xl. No real need to go up a size.

I've been going with brands with a similar spandex percentage, I wear a medium in AND1 confortable, a medium in JOCKEY is a little tight, a medium in these Fruit of the Loom is too TIGHT for me, I should have gone with the large.

I think they run small. Got a large, and I’m not particularly big, 6 feet, 180, and they are tight. I’m sure they will stretch out but they will also shrink when washed
