Assos bib sizing

Ok gane need a bit of help here. I admit it...I am a clydesdale...that said I am looking at the Assos bibs and wondering about the size. All of their sizing is based on height other than the TIR size which says it is for larger 6'4"-6'5"+ but wider. Well I am 5'10" so the XLG and TIR would leave a lot of slack in the straps I would think....but I am worried that since I am a bit wider than most cyclists buying based on my height might be far too small in the waist.

In PI bibs an XL fits great to even a bit loose. Performance bibs the XL fits pretty good. Santini the XXL (again bibs) is a bit tight in the legs but fine in the waist. I am thinking XL in Assos even though it is for a little taler rider. Thoughts. 5'10" with a 38" waist.

Thanks

Oh add to that this chart from Competitive Cyclist


Edit to fix the Santini size
