Casual lighter weight corduroy
I was looking for pair of lighter weight linen-cotton warmer weather pants -- more sweat pants than super baggy -- and was surprised to find these corduroy fabric semi-straight leg pants. Surprised because I would normally think of corduroy as being a warmer fabric choice, but a comment in a review indicated they were very light, and indeed, it is a lighter corduroy. I purchased a XL pair based on Amazon recommendations for sizing. That size was perfect for me. For reference, in Levis 550 jeans I usually wear a 35W, 32L (5'10" 180 lbs).These are definitely light, not linen cotton light, but still a an airy corduroy fabric. I would not wear them in super hot weather, with a preference towards the airier feeling linen fabrics, but still up to 75F they are comfortable without feeling hot or cloying. Construction quality is good with secure stitching and no loose threads. Thin corduroy "wales". Prior to washing they fit, and after washing I think they fit even better with a bit more security along the waistline -- I do not have them tied, the elastic is flexible and secure. Very comfortable and soft to the skin. Reiterating size: Length wise a touch over for me (33-34"). Waist sizing with the elastic and tie off was well within my normal range (again, 35-36, with room for expansion).The bottom cuff is loose, not tight against the lower ankle like some sweat pants can. They are loose, straight leg, a little baggy along the legs but definitely not harem "can't touch this" parachute style size (which can be too much for me).The front pockets are deep enough for a phone, wallet, cards, or keys. If I had a wish it would a deeper back pocket, two of them rather than just one-- a phone or wallet will fit in this back pocket, but such items are not super secure (a small square of velcro at the top and inside the pocket might help). Another wish would be to remove the "Hidkat Fashion" label on the front (or maybe move it to the waist or back pocket?) -- the label is fine, but prominent, and it is stitched into the fabric in such a way that it is not removable. Color expectation seems about right, khaki appears a bit brighter than browner.Very pleased with the price, how they look with sandals and running shoes, and fit in the crotch and down the legs. Definitely on my list to purchase another pair in a different color.Ver másVer menos
