Sorry if I missed it. Do the Baleafs fit pretty normal?

I have a pair of Sugoi shorts in XL (they fit but could probably go for a L) and Castelli bibs in 2XL (they fit but definitely could not go down a size.)

I like the Castelli bibs a lot, but to get several pairs is pretty expensive. Would like to try the Baleafs, but their sizing is somewhat vauge only giving a waist measurement.

Super normal.

Is that like my favorite t-shirt size, extra medium?

There has been a couple people picking up some bibs from https://www.theblackbibs.com/ in the thread...any updates-thoughts on them after a ride or two or three?

I ordered another one. Will wear them both days of MS150 Houston to Austin.

I bought an XL. I'm 6'1", 216 lbs., 37" waist. I found them to be a bit tight in the crotch. The chamois seemed high quality. My plan is to drop some more body-weight/ fat through cycling, so maybe they will fit better over the summer... The XL bibs from Voler (Avanti) fit better overall, but the chamois seems thinner on them.

I haven't seen Boure mentioned yet,made in Durango, great customer service, and they offer a thin chamois (their Pro) . First heard of them here and am now up to tights, knickers, and a few bibs, and have been happy with every transaction.
