Welcome Principal Solid Color Elastic Pants, Magic Forest color - got them on sale for $52. Not my usual fit but I wanted non-jeans for more room + elastic waist/string (if you know of more let me know, ideally a 99%cotton 1% spandex type deal). Sorry lots of pics.
Came here to say these don't qualify for this thread, but sounds like you wanted them bigger but ruined them with the dryer. I'm going to say that you shouldn't put anything in the dryer that you care about, except towels and sheets. We have one at home and i won't even put my sheets in it unless i absolutely have to. That thing is the worst for your clothes.
Also, the medium probably would have been fine, maybe you're just not used to seeing yourself in baggy pants? If you're coming from slim or relaxed, it takes a bit of getting used to, seeing those big pants in the mirror
I did indeed fuck them up by not reading the label. That's on me. Perhaps someone interested on them will glean some useful information from the post. Moving on...
As the title of the thread suggests we're talking
loose fit, doesn't say 'oversized' or 'baggy' or 'MC Hammer-like but loose. Which these are (pic is medium btw but they were too big in the waist or I would have just cut to length):

It's great that you have a dryer, and sheets at home. It's also greatly appreciated you taking the time out just to drop by with your 'loose fit' qualifications standards. Kudos.
What does me [you assumed here and are uninformed] not being used to seeing myself in baggy clothes have to do with anything if I was happy with the fit before I fucked them up? You got one thing right, Mediums would have been fine...after shrinking.
Anyway, I, too, have sheets and a dryer (both fucking rad, am I right?). I'm also quite versed in high quality fabrics and care; including high-end workout gear (that can also be instantly fucked in 5 min. med heated dryer) / casual wear, synthetics, cotton, silks, and wool to a few hundo+ selvedge denim (that I don't wash or dry ever). I guess you hang your sheets on a clothes-line then (serious question, not stirring up shit)? I couldn't be bothered with that shit.
One thing is clear, we have different expectations of pant care for pants that one actually uses to, dare I say,
skate in, perhaps you were thinking this thread only pertains to loose fit casual/street wear?
If I have to wash $65 skate pants inside out, cold only, hang them dry, can't dry clean (exact label specs btw), and have touch my nose and spin three times to care for them properly, when they are going to get fucked on session one, I don't want them; street/casual wear is is a total different story but I didn't buy these with that in mind.
That all said they are great feeling and fitting pants provided you don't put them in the fucking dryer - now to get a pair in large and shrink them down so I don't have to worry about them
