These jeans are 100% polyester and subsequently have that man made material's appearance and care / wear characteristics. I agree with other reviewers that the 'stretch' listed in its description is almost non existent, and as many others have also stated previously, these jeans are running about 2 inches smaller in the waist than average pant sizes. I bought what turned out to be a good fitting 40" waist size after reading those reviews, although I normally wear a 38". Sizing seem to be accurate for the inseam lengths listed ( 29" for me ). As to the colors of these jeans I've purchased so far, the Piney was TOO green for my taste ( returned ), the Brown is a deep variety of that color ( almost a 'chocolate' ), the Dark Beige is quite nice ( a 'wet sand' type of tan ), and their Navy is a VERY dark blue ( almost 'blue black' ). These are a dressier version of jeans with a crisp crease in the legs from the mid thigh down, e.g., good for on-board wear on a cruise ship or a casual night out in the city, but not as good a choice for outdoor activities such as hiking, etc., and certainly not for anything athletic. The front pockets are a little on the tighter side ( so if you have large hands, that may be an issue for you ), but the rear ones will still comfortably hold an average wallet or a non TV sized cell phone. For comparison, my 38" waist all cotton Regular Fit Wrangler jeans are somewhat loose on me, but this Wrancher version in a 40" fits me there just right, but are more form fitting in the seat and upper thighs. Bottom line: size up 2 inches in waist, and be advised if you're thick in the butt and/or thighs, this may not be the Wrangler style of jeans for you. In my opinion, the Wrancher dress jeans are somewhere between a Skinny Fit and a Regular Fit style. Thanks to all the past reviewers who aided me in obtaining the right size on my first try when ordering these from Amazon. Hope my sizing and color descriptions as listed above are also of help to others in this same regard.
