Hey all, so I myself am new to airsoft but I know the basics. The thing is that I am wanting to purchase some fatigues but I'm not sure what exact size I need to get. I am 5'7, about 120lbs, and I have a 32 waist. I noticed how there is medium short, medium long, medium regular, and etc.. I'd like to know what exactly the difference is. I'd also like to know what you guys think my chances of finding military fatigues at a store such as goodwill are.

Sounds like you need medium short, but that's just my ballpark guess. Use the following images to figure that out.

If you can't find anything at Goodwill, just buy some on eBay. Army Navy stores will usually rape you on prices; an actual surplus store might be around the right price if you can find one in your area.

You can get them "experienced" at the army navy store for $10 for the shirt and $10 for the pants if you live in greenville they will have a better selection than goodwill.

$10 at the army navy store in GREENVILLE?! Different one than I'm going to.

go to the rack in the back with the experienced camo(bdus and dcus) if you get the new it's like $20 a peice

I'm about 5'8" and I weigh 155 lbs. I wear small regulars which in theory should fit you fine, but ofcourse, this is just a ballpark for you. Make sure to try them on before buying, if you have a chance.

It has been my experience that BDUs and DCUs are more forgiving as far as the waistband goes, the small tabs on the side of my old BDUs are a far superior tightening system to the drawstring inside the ACUs. If you're a 32 waist, I would go with medium-reg or possibly medium-short...
