I don't like wearing jeans because I need a belt, and it makes my waistline even bulkier.  I like these pants, they have a nice crisp appearance(make sure to wash them inside out).  Not at all like sweatpants.  They feel great, soft, and go great with all my tops like jeans do.  Great that they have regular jean style pockets and the traditional gold stitching.

I'm not real happy with the length, I'm 5'8" and they hit me right at my ankles, so I wouldn't recommend them for anyone too tall or wearing anything but flats.  I also don't like the drawstring, it can kinda dig in because the fabric is nice and heavy, so I replaced it with elastic.  That was easy to do, the drawstring helped pull the elastic right through!

Overall, I'd buy them again and recommend them to my friends(even if I did tweak them a little)!

EDIT:  I've had these for about a month and they wash up horribly.  They get pills all over them, and I even turned them inside out and did not put them in the dryer.  They are comfy and I wear them, but not out of the house.
