These are sturdy - good pants for the golf course.  I wouldnt wear them to an office where everybody is in slacks, and I wouldnt wear them with a sports jacket because these are more casual than dressy.  Pockets are deep enough.  Guys with a gut should get the shortest inseam if like me you button them under the gut.  The button is very strongly sewn in.  The ultimate khaki type of slacks.  In all fairness, I really don't know what a dressy casual slack would look like - maybe more slacks like?  These are definitely not jeans, but they are more like chinos, well made chinos, not cheap like the ones you buy at a big box store.
