These are seriously one of my favorite pairs of pants, I wear them at least once a week if not multiple times. They're very comfortable with a thick waistband and good quality fabric. I'm only 5'1" so they're very long on me but I just safety pin the elastic on the bottoms so they sit right under my knee. I wear them on my hips which are 38" and the XL fits perfect, so I think they run a little small because from the size chart I should only need a M or L. I would HIGHLY recommend these pants!
