Clothes online are always a gamble, but these pants are actually a true jackpot for me. I am 5'7''," 182 lbs., and the size XL fits perfectly, with the length perfect at just the top of my ankles. These pants have a slightly full cut, which will be perfect for summer, but they are not at all baggy or dumpy looking. You can adjust the waist with the tie, too, so there's some flexibility in fit. I also did not detect any really strong chemical smells on these pants. I washed them by hand in lukewarm water and spun then line-dried them, and they came out very well with few wrinkles (I don't like ironing in summer).
