I just received these pants in the mail today. I am a teacher and like to wear jeans or comfortable stretch pants to work. I took a chance on these pants because of the price and I was pleasantly surprised with the quality and fit.  I am a huge fan of American Eagle and these are just like the knit jeggings that they carried last season (only these are even thicker, I think).  For reference,I wear a size 8 in American Eagle jeans and I ordered a Large in these Southpole pants. I don't buy anything that i cannot throw in the drier! They fit great, but I haven't worn or washed them.  I am hoping for the best, and plan or ordering other colors.
