The small is slightly small for me. Should I return or exchange for medium?
I'm typically 30x30 in pants. Not surprisingly the small is slightly short--but I could fix that by letting the hem down a little. It's snug at the waistband--but not tight anywhere else-and binds on the knee when I walk or sit. I'm afraid the medium (32) might be huge on me tho.
If they fit better these seem like they'd be great pants...

I got the Small and the Medium to try -- I am also 30x32 and I could not get either of them to fit correctly. The Small felt constricting, and the Medium was way too big at the waist and was a bit too flowy for my tastes. I loved the material though -- and I did try them out on a trip by wearing a belt. So yes - a belt would work, but it's annoying that the sizing is the way it is.

My only thought is try using a webbing belt on them... I like these pants so much I think everyone should get a pair. But it is understandable if sizing does not work out.
