Tried to make them work. Im a server, dishwasher, and a host at a local iHop. For one they are way tighter than any normal pants and you should definitely get a size or two up in my experience. Unfortunately for me that did not have a positive outcome regardless. I still was very u comfortable and the pants were for too tight. I ordered two pair and never even opened the second. Ive returned them and hopefully the next ones I get work better. Though they were stiff Im sure with a few washes theyd loosen up. The pockets were pretty small but the pants felt sturdy and capable if they fit right for you.
