Surprisingly, these are a nice pair of slacks. They fit well, are very comfortable, and the waist is comfortable as advertised, which is important for me due to my body style. Historically I would have to buy my slacks larger than I needed and have the waist tailored, but that is not the case here. My reason for deducting a star is the pocket openings. They don't seem to be of standard size and could stand to be a little larger. It is a snug fit to get my hands in my pockets.
