Browse through Docker reviews and you will see a significant number of comments about inconsistent sizing. These pants fit that theme. I ordered a size 32x32 slim fit, which is the size that fits me well when the garment is properly made in a production system with effective quality control. The pants I received had a 34.5" waist, and were baggy and loose. This is not the first time I have had this experience. Browse Docker reviews and you will also note that the Dockers' response to reviews regarding inconsistent sizing often is "But sometimes, something as small as a change in fabric treatment, finishing, or fabric composition can affect the way a pair of jeans fits. And of course, each pair of jeans will fit everyone a little differently!" The author of that response seems to believe that the sizing of a garment is some unalterable force of nature over which the manufacturer has absolutely no control. And, it apparently has not dawned upon the author that customers might actually expect the manufacturer to deliver a consistently sized product. No worries! Just return it - and oh by the way, pay the $7.50 return fee. There are many aspects of Dockers pants that I like, but the constant hassle of dealing with inconsistent sizing, ordering and returning multiple pairs, detracts immensely from the brand. I do not recommend Dockers to anyone.

The point of ordering direct is to get the right size and you messed it up. The tags reflect the numbers I chose but not the size itself. You rounded up.
