I've owned these for a year or so now, I work 13 hour days in retail management and really give these pants a work out and they have withstood the test without any defects. The price is excellent for a pair of pants that I can wear 4 to 5 days a week for 13 hours a day lasting through repeated washings and dryings. They haven't shrunk, they have retained their color, fit and comfort. I will continue to purchase these as long as they are available.
