One of the pitfalls of aging is that ever changing waistline. Being tall and relatively thin, except for the cursed belly, it's often very difficult to find a good fit in a pair of pants. Get the waist to fit and the you feel like your wearing a sack everywhere else. These fit, look great and, outside of a little touch up ironing after my lovely dryer tosses them in a ball for 20 minutes, are ready to wear. Oh yes, the waist--it moves with your moves and feels awesome! I plan on buying a few more. BTW-they are generously long-I had to exchange the 34L for a 32L.
