People have complimented me on them but I did have to size up

I was so excited to get these shorts but when I saw it it was like a pair of shorts for a kid. I ordered a size 30” but the waist line was too small. It was like a 26”-27”. I was extremely disappointed because I was looking forward to pairing it with my Adidas shirt and shoes. I had no choice but to return it. Don’t get me wrong, those shorts were nice but it was definitely not a size 30”. I wonder how it passed quality control.
