The material on the black pants is of high quality usually found in men's slacks priced at $75-100.  It has a nice sheen to it when held up against the light, but not overtly so.  It has a tight, finely weaved pattern and does not look cheap unlike those twill Dockers pants that screams "Department store rack!"  It drapes very nice when suited on and has a light, airy feeling when ambulating.  The extender waist feature even adds to the already high comfort level ensuring a good fit reminiscent of tailor-made clothing.  Suffice it to say, at $29.99, it is an extremely excellent bargain at this price point.  I'm so impressed that I am thinking of getting more before Amazon gets wind of how much they are severely underpricing these pants.  You will not be disappointed.  Seriously.
