I purchased these sweatpants because they are my staple clothes while walking the dog and running errands.  I have owned numerous pair of this brand and size.  However, when I received these sweatpants, they were extremely tight and much thicker than the Russell 2XL pants I have purchased in the past.  While it is nice in the cold weather to have thicker sweatpants, these are very tight.  I would not buy these again.
