These pants seem well made, material is thicker, warmer than in your average sweat pants. I am 5'6" with long skinny legs, but wide hips and a lower belly, so I have trouble finding bottoms that fit me. These fit perfectly. I wash in cold water and use no heat in the dryer (or air dry)since they are cotton and will probably shrink otherwise. I practically spent all summer in Champion shorts and I suspect I will spend my winter in these very comfortable and attractive pants.
