I normally wear a 38 and like the fit to be slightly loose in the crotch and thigh area, also prefer shorts that stop at knee, these fit the bill?

The sizing is "generous" and should be loose. As to the length...well, it depends on how tall you are! I'm 5'6" and the shorts are just below my knees.

I was told to get the next size up which I did and I LOVE these...very comfortable, and glad I followed the advice.

Based on your preferences, I would have to say that you would not be happy with the Propper tactical shorts. I don't think they are overly tight in the crotch or thighs, but they aren't loose. I will say, at least for me they stop at the knee. Try some TruSpec brand and I think you will be pleased.

I believe I am about 29" or 30" waist and 37" or 38" hips. The medium fits me well. I really like these shorts. They have great pockets for tennis balls.

I'm a 36" waist and the shorts fit me just fine. I have a trim physique so I'm not sure if that would matter.

I wear a size 4 or an XS in street clothing, but I wear an S in these shorts (and most sportswear). They fit me perfectly. So I'm guessing these shorts are probably a 4-6 and a medium would be an 8-10. If you get the right size, you will love them. My oldest pair is probably four years old and still looks new, despite being worn once a week all this time.

If you wear hip protection I would recommend a medium.... I'm 5'10 36-38 waist and I wear poc vpd hip protectors and the Large fits perfectly. So logically if I were you I would go with the Medium. The shorts have velcor adjustments at the hips so if the medium is a little loose you can tighten it up easy. I used these shorts all last season and they are very high quality. I'm very happy with them

My waist size is 38 and I purchased the XL sized running shorts. Hope this helps.

I wear mine for sports and they fit fine. However, I went down a size from what I measured from the knee to ensure they would be tight for compression and wouldn't roll down.

Mine are a little shorter than I usually like. They stop right at the knees and I would like them to go just a little past. But since they are really meant to be tactical it makes sense that they would allow for better running and such. I think the length is proportional to the waist number.

Well, if you have wide thighs they might be tight. I have wide thighs and a large still felt tight. If you're thinner with smaller hips you should be alright

I wear a large for size 36 (waist). I would order a medium for a 32 (waist)

I think the XL will be nice and loose on you. I wear a 36, if that helps you figure out the appropriate size for your waist.

My waist is on the upper end of the mediums and they fit. Since your waist is on the upper end of the large, large should be fine unless of course you have unusually thick thighs. Large will be long though.

Well, I am size 38 in jeans too I get Large size and it fit good now if you want it a little tighter a Medium will work, I'm not sure about the belly but it give you a good hit on the lower part of the belly.

I have a 31" waist and the M (Medium) fits me well (tight as bike shorts should be). If I were you, I would order the Small.

These shorts will easily fit 38 to 40 inch waist size ( men ). There's some leeway if the man has a " big tummy " since they can slip down a bit or you can pull them up a little.

I would go for the medium.I am a 35" hip and a 27" waist and I took the small, they were quite comfortable.
