I wear a 24 in the uniform company from my last job, but a 20 in my everyday jeans so I went for a 22 with Dickies. My new job told me to get Original 774 and with Amazon Prime I'd get them in time for my first day. They ended up being a little looser which means this company doesn't run small (that's good!) The waist band is high quality and the belt loops fit my 1.1" belt fine. They were really long though and that was MY FAULT. I didn't read the description on the bottom of the listing about the different seams the petites and regulars had. The petite inseam it says is 28.5" and my inseam is 29" so I definitely shouldn't have gotten the regular 32" inseam. You can see the repercussions of them being too long as a bunch of dirt got on the bottoms of the pant legs. Other than that, they are a great pair of pants!
