I feel the same way. Hard decision.....

What's everyone thinking for sizes, normal alpha size or size up?

I'm normally a 36" pant and always taken a large in 18E, but the measurements say the large only as aa 34" waist, so I guess I need an XL?

I’m going to try for my gorecki size, which is one size up from my standard letter sizing. The measurements seem to be about the same. If too big,either try and shrink or cinch the waist with a belt.

yeah I was thinking about doing this too. however if there are no drawstrings then I’ll just get my alpha size. I don’t wanna be swimming in the ***** lol

good weight loss motivation if they’re too tight. I have relatively big thighs tho, so I don’t wanna overdo it lol

I would guess no drawstrings since the originals don't and AKC normally styles drawstring pants with the strings hanging. Just a guess though

you’re probably right. this is hard because the XXLs seem like they fit closer to 39, and I’d hate to wear a belt all the time haha

I’ll go XL and hope for the best
