I don't know how many pairs of pajama/lounge bottoms I bought for my husband over the years, just to have them shrink to ridiculously unwearable hobbit length after the very first laundry. Yes, he is 6'3, but even the tall sizes would shrink terribly. These sweats are perfect. They were great length at the beginning and they remained the same length after being washed and even dried in the dryer. They also wear well throughout the week and don't sag in the knees like some other knit pants do. These sweats compare very favorably to, say, Land's End sweats that go for $40.

A note on sizing - I almost ordered XL after reading the reviews and glad that I went with L. DH is a solid 36, and L is a good (slightly roomy) fit.
