I purchased a pair of 36 in shorts and they are almost too large. The 36 in trousers are almost too tight. The 38 in trousers are almost too large. I can sort of understand the difference in the trousers. I may be somewhere in between the 2 but not sure why the shorts fit so differently. OTHERWISE, I LOVE the shorts and pants. I did shorten the inseam on the shorts so they don't hang below my knees but I wear them all the time now.

Nothing bad to say about them. Much good. Plenty of pockets, including in back. Curiously, being the same company and the design being so close, the Gurkha pants DO NOT have the two defects that my Ghurka shorts have: The buckles, though very similar to the short's, aren't as thin. As a result, I don't think they'll contribute to fraying much. also, the buckles are placed in front of the hip bone. As such, they are much more comfortable to cinch, requiring much less trunk-twisting to get the job done.
The fit is nice and loose, without being excessively baggie. Along with almost every other review of trousers and shorts on this site, I'll caution whomever is considering buying them to order one, perhaps even two, sizes larger than your usual waist size.
I'm waiting to see if or how much the fabric shrinks when washed to order another, perhaps a couple more. Very nice indeed!
