I absolutely LOVE these pants.  Linen is one of my favorite fabrics, and these are wonderfully soft.  I ordered 2 pair and will now order more colors.  The fold over waist band is gentle against the mid-section - a must for folks like me who are a bit thick in the waist.  Admittedly, the knit waist band could be more sturdy, but that is a minor point considering the comfort and chic look.
