I wanted some sweat pants that I could wear to the gym, wear around the house, and run errands in.  I got the charcoal grey ones in the hopes that they would not show cat hairs very badly, because my cats like to sit in my lap while I read.  The cat hairs don't show up very noticeably.  I have washed them a couple of times.  No bleeding.  They are very comfortable.  Nice and warm.  I like the elastic around the legs so I can run outside on cold days.  Just what I wanted.
