I was looking for a pair of wide-leg pants that I could wear before and after my KNEE-REPLACEMENT SURGERY. I knew the pant leg had to be wide enough to pull up easily so doctors and PT people could look at my knee, but I wanted the pants to be comfortable enough to scoot around the house with a walker or a cane -- and even sleep in them if I wanted. These pants are perfect. They look great and I can wear them to PT or the store and not be embarrassed. The material is a lightweight, stretchy but not too thin. I bought two pairs and love them. They wash and dry great (no shrinkage). I am 5'8" and weigh around 260; I ordered the 2X. The inseam appears to be around 31 which is perfect for me. I would highly recommend these pants.
