These sweats are a great fit for me, which is rare! The material is the same as the Sur sweatshirts and these pair perfectly with them, and the medium is not too long on my 5'7' frame. I wear a 30" inseam jean if that helps. The beauty of this material is it is very pliable. right out of the dryer they are a perfect fit and will stay that way, but if you pull on them you can really ad some length to them, just like sweaters from the 70s. All of those sweaters were too short in the sleeves on everyone, so you grabbed the cuff with your hands and stretched your arms out as far as you could go and boom - perfect length. And for those that complain the Sur fabric wears out too quick, then treat them like the sweats that they are and follow the proper wash and care instructions! Washing kills all clothing and especially denim and heritage fabrics like this. Don't wash them if they don't need it, go gentle cycle with cold water and don't overdo the detergent! If you can let them air dry - that way you get the true vintage feel when you put them on. They soften up in minutes as your body warms them up and you move around. Wear them and love them and they will treat you well. Cheers!
