Read the thread. It's the reason why it exists.

Yeah those suck ass. They do look baggy too me as well. Dockers Waders, if still sold have a substantially better fit-- cut like the chinos commonly worn by chaps in italy. Better damn cheap as well.

Well, I'm 5'8" and 135 pounds as well, and I like to Wings and Horns West Point Chinos, size 30, down one size for me. In fact, I like them so much, I have four pairs. You may have to shop around and be patient if the full retail price is a bit much for you. You can see a pair here.

Those look really fantastic in the pic. I'll wait for a deal on those. Thanks for the tip.

I don't see any "waders" on their website? Did they change the name? I see slim fit and extra slim fit though.

Waders are the slimmest by far. Look great on a skinny guy like me, I had to size up one from my usual 30. Milano is not bad but has some pocket/hip flare, def more suited for biz/casual. Tried on urban slim, doesn't work for me at all.

Pretty much TTS. 31 in waders, 30 in the milano. I get pocket/hip flare with the Milanos though, don't get much wear because of that.
