I purchased the first pair of these pants for my sons pirate costume, he loved them so much he wanted more for wearing around the house.  I got a few different colors from different vendors so was able to compare.  These were Dark Grey and Red, originally they were just a few inches shorter than the others I purchased, but they got dried in the dryer by mistake and are now much shorter.  My son is 56 120 pounds and the length hits him mid-calf if its tied just at his hip bone.  This pair does bleed color if washed in warm water too, not just on the first wash, they have been washed a dozen times and still bleed red.  For what we purchased them for they are great, but he wouldnt wear them out of the house since they shrunk.
