@ Patrick- I totally understand that and shop appropriately. But I was looking
at the same garment from the same manufacturer. And it's funny how most things
"athletic fit" are generally fashion clothes not intended for athleticism.
I think I was mainly surprised to see an overly baggy piece fr
+1 to what Bob said. You want whatever lines are "athletic" or "slim" fit.

I went to a well known men's store to by a couple of pairs of dress slacks.
I wanted pleated and a size up from my "36" waist to accommodate my

'Nother anecdote (you asked for it). Years ago I had several Performance LS
jerseys in an incredibly bright and neon greenery-yellow. I wore them
everywhere I biked to, which included school (middle aged MBA program),

sports coat, a 15.5 neck, 32-33 sleeve. My dress pants are 33 waist and 33

Patagonia's been pretty notorious for changing their sizing and fit over
the last 10 years or so, sometimes even on the same item from season to
