When I opened the package the first thing that I noticed was that  the pants are not a true black. They were "blackish". It's not a solid color, but a pattern that includes various degrees of gray. I also don't care much for the piping. The pants are very comfortable, though quite puffy around the thighs. I then ordered a pair of Levi' s which are a deep solid black, and fit quite nicely. One moment I'm ready to return the Jackson, and then I think, why bother, they're only $15. The truth is, I will probably never wear them. I would say that if you're looking for a low cost utility jean, these will probably serve you well.
