I got these with the intention of wearing them at my wedding.  Our wedding had a Hawaiian theme, and Hawaii's state colors are red and yellow.  We got custom made red garments from a Hawaiian designer, but I needed pants.  Yellow pants aren't the easiest to find, and there's not a lot of selection to choose from.  These pants are good quality and lay nicely.  The yellow is akin to Ronald McDonald's yellow.  It's that vibrant.  There's nothing mute about them.  For this reason I ultimately had to return them.  I wanted to write a review, however, because they were nice, and if I were ever in need of pants of this color (or one of the manufacturer's other colors) I would buy these again.
