These are very comfortable to wear - on the softer side of corduroy pants I've purchased, and a very good value. They're thinner than my nicest pair (Cordarounds), but probably equally comfortable (and that other pair cost 2-3x as much). That difference means they're probably better for warmer temperatures (easy enough, though I bought them early in the Winter), and they might not last more than a year or two, but I'm happy with what I'm getting for the cost. The fit seems true and accurate, and I really appreciated the ability to buy a 33-inch waist size. They do not seem too tight or loose in any area, but that may vary for others.
