Are your regular pants a 33, or are you saying when you measure your waist you're 33"?
The weight of the fabric was also a concern. I have a pair of ACM paratropper-style pants that definitely can't stand up to a beating outdoors.
Assuming Crye is high end ($200+), and TMC/Emerson is low-end ($40-$50) would you recommend something in the middle ($100).

I'm really a 32" but wear 33" for comfort most of the time. The medium will be fine for you, maybe an inch or two long in the pants but keep in mind they are slimmer fitting. I personally prefer that rather than really baggy pants. Keep in mind, standard BDU pants ARE going to be super baggy on a thin frame like yours.
There are a lot of choices out there. If there is a surplus shop near you I'd suggest going to try some. Truspec and Propper are a couple of middle of the road manufacturers. UR Tactical is a bit pricier with Crye right there at the top.
Try to keep in mind, we don't wear these things 24/7 for weeks at a time in the field, IMO you don't need $200 pants to play 3-4 times a month.
