fabric at butt ripped soon after purchase in such a way that they weren't repairable....I was sitting on a velour couch and due to one fabric sticking to the other they just ripped significantly when I slid sideways....totally weird, never had this happen before.  Might have been my fault, they are beautiful, very comfy, stylish, heavy wt cotton.  I'll probably try them again this winter cuz I really liked them...
