Sizing didn't work

I ordered the size Medium for my husband which is the size he always wears in shorts. For some reason the size is listed as a 32-34, which is a "33". The small is listed as a 28-30

Seriously flawed pocket design
Weight: 190-200 lbs
Height: 5'6"
Used for: Casual or Every Day
I really wanted to like these shorts, particularly the security pocket where I could place my cell phone. The shorts fit fine, but they have a serious major flaw: the front pockets

Nice shorts but...there are a couple of downsides
Weight: 140-150 lbs
Height: 5'8"
Used for: Casual or Every Day
Overall these are nice quality shorts but the belt latch mechanism is cheap and awful. I ended up trashing the belts and replacing with a belt with a more positive latch mechanism.
