I bought these pants for my son's high school uniform pants. It's a good shade of gray and they always look crisp and sharp with no ironing. Love that. Sturdy fabric means he can play video games on the floor without wearing through the knees or butt. Just wish the fabric was a bit softer and I don't like having to carefully clip off the little Dickies patch - always afraid I'm going to tear the fabric. But a great choice for school uniform pants.
