Cargo pants are made of a nice soft thick material. When I first got them I thought the waist line was too big and gappy but after I washed them, the pants fit perfectly around the waist. The size is accurate for my hips, slightly looser around the thighs but the length is perfect for my 5'0 ht. The pants arrived in less than a week and I am thinking of buying more of the same cargo pants in a different color. Love the Cherokee brand.
