These pants don't rise all the way up to the waist, so I was a little surprised by the fit. They stop a few inches below, so the fact that the waistband on the Medium measures 35 unstretched doesnt mean that it will fit you if you have a 35 waist. Theres a sturdy tie belt on the waistband and it's stretchy too, so it can be made tighter or looser to some extent. The hips measure about 44. The side pockets are big and useful. The back pocket is well made. Inseams on the Regular length Medium measure 31.5, which is good for me; Im 57. The fabric is medium-weight, smooth 72% polyester/23% rayon/5% spandex.  The slight stretchiness keeps them comfortable when I bend, etc. The openings at the ankle hem measure 22 around giving them an easy fullness. They wash easily and dry fast.
