Buy a size larger, and don't plan on wearing them long.

Well, first, the pants run small, I always wear the same size pants, and these were a bit tight. The biggest problem, though, was that the pants wore through on the seat after only wearing them about 8 times. I work in an office, and sit at a chair all day, and the pants wore through right on the right seat pocket! I'd imagine it's from sitting down all day, but still, I've never had a pair of pants do that before, or since. I'm pretty easy on clothes, I've got jeans and other khakis that I originally bought in college. I won't be buying any more IZOD products.
