I bought this product used and, while it was "new" with tags as described, it came covered in white pet fur (I think dog hair but maybe cat hair) - nothing the washing machine couldn't take care of. As other reviews have stated, these pants are great for shorter people. I am 5'1" and the pants is just an inch or so too long for me. They function well as shorts, too - I rolled them up once to look more flattering. I ordered a small and they fit well - I have larger hips and am 125lbs. The back side of the waist is elastic.
