It's always very difficult to find a good fit, these are great.  I did size up after reading reviews, but I also just ordered a second pair in my "true" size. (Just to see, because they do have some stretching if sitting all day and for weight changes.)  I like that these pants are fitted to my butt without  being loose at the hip.  They sit slightly below the waist for comfort, but not so low that keeping them up is a concern.  Although I'm only 5'5" I nearly always have to let the hem down on other pants after a few washings, so I appreciate the Tall length as it's much easier to shorten pants than to lengthen.  With these I was able to add a cuff.  Cotton fades by nature, so I wash inside out in cold water to minimize fading. I alway iron pants (I like the crease), however if these are dried and removed properly, wrinkles are not an issue.  The item description says not to use fabric softener, but that is not stated on the garment itself.  I do wish the back pockets were just a 1/2" deeper so I could carry cash & C.C. more securely.
