If you buy Italian made shorts then XXXL or XXXXL is about the same as American XL.

Wonder what size this guy's wearing.

Buy Under Armor or Nike Dry Fit underwear. Its made for sports so they don't bunch up.

The ones she got were Mountin bike shorts I had asked for a pair. I know I put a fue ## on with the snow and not geting out, but these have to be marked wrong.

2 things.
If you're looking for road bike type shorts I highly recommend going with Bibs, much
more comfortable not having a waistband digging in.

As to the Italian fellow pictured above (I think that's from an Eroica photo set), don't
underestimate him, seriously. He may have had a few too many plates of pasta but I
bet he could put the hurt on a lot of us. I've seen these guys, old (hey I'm old), overweight, maybe smokers and you think "3 miles and they're toast", well let me tell you, they've been riding forever, probably started in a local club and can ride your legs off.
now, his sense of fashion? ugh.
