Summary:I'm overall very satisfied by the quality of these lederhosen. This is not a thin, cheap, costume-quality garment, but something that could be worn regularly for many years. Take the time to measure your waist per instructions and choose the associated US size; do NOT buy based on Amazon's auto-generated size suggestion or your usual US-size in other brands of pants. If you're between sizes, be aware that there's a gusset on the back, with a leather drawstring you can loosen to gain perhaps 1.5" of waistline. In fact, if you're between sizes I recommend buying both to compare. I recommend buying the matching shoes as the color match is excellent. All of my comments are with the caveat that I am not an expert and have no frame of reference for comparing lederhosen quality.Details:The sizing chart based on actual waistline measurement was pretty accurate in my case, so I STRONGLY recommend taking the time to measure. That said, since I fell right between two sizes, if I had to order again I'd instead round down to the smaller size. Reason: the unadvertised adjustment gusset on the back of the lederhosen and I may lose a few more pounds. I'm 6'2", 187 lbs. and typically wear a size 33 waist in pants (e.g., Levis, Banana Republic, Eddie Bauer, Wrangler.) so I was skeptical of the sizing chart. I measured my waist three times at my underwear band, coming up with 36-7/8", 36-5/8" and 36-3/4". As these fell between two sizes (US 30 (=36" waist measurement) and (US 32 (=38") I ignored the Amazon recommendation of 34" and rounded up to the larger US-32 per instructions. On first wearing, size seemed perfect as lederhosen are supposed to fit snugly. However, they loosened maybe a half or whole size as I wore them around the house. That said, they be no means LOOKED loose, there was no sign they'd fall down without the suspenders and no chance of doing so WITH the suspenders.The leather quality in terms of thickness, stitching, color and fit was impressive. Embroidery was basic but looked secure. The buckles on the suspenders don't look high end, but neither do they look cheap.
