I'm a athletic built incuding my legs and skinny pants don't work for me. These have a very comfortable and flexible waste band that id guess give or take two waste sizes.  These definately have room to move but aren't overly baggy... unless you have skinny legs. They are made of a thicker than average material that maintains a soft feel. Quality zipper and button. Even the pockets are made of a soft, flexible, material (not cotton) that i love. I will buy more of these!
