The very first pair of adult black leggings I ever bought about 8 years ago had a front center raised seam sewn in, like my old Danskins used to when I was a kid. Never though much of it until leggings really became popular and I bought a couple other basic black pairs that were more expensive to wear out and to work. Soon I realized that something was missing, the fabric was too clingy, too thin, but most of all, no seam! So I began to wear my nearly vintage leggings all the time, until finally that front seam unravelled. Then the search began for another pair of good black legging-type pants with a front center seam! Now mind you I am a plus sized gal so this was no easy feat. Finally found these pants and voila! They are better than my now unravelled (cleaning) leggings! The fabric is thick and rich feeling, and the front seam is flat, not raised, but still makes such a difference in elevating these from workout leggings to office/night out attire. They are not tight at the ankle so look good with flats, but best of all they ARE tight ENOUGH to go nicely into my tall black boots. There is nice detail around the waist band that will never see the light of day on me because I only wear under long tops, but if you wear them so that shows then it is a really nice detail.

Wonderful, slimming slacks that work for a variety of dressy and professional outfits. Thick fabric and well made. Read more
I am a 65-year-old housewife in the Rocky Mountains and my wardrobe consists of jeans and tops or activewear. Here in the mountains, casual is the name of the game. My pant size is usually 22/3x, with a long inseam and high waist. You can imagine how hard it is to find pants that fit but I try hard to keep clothes that are nice quality and well-fitting. I wanted more brown in my life and so I was on a mission to find nice brown denim (not twill) that fit my body shape and size. Needless to say that this was impossible. IMPOSSIBLE. But along the way, I ran across these and decided to give them a try. When they came, I felt like it was Christmas Morning, but as I opened the box, my heart sank because I could tell immediately that this garment is far more dressy and refined than I was looking for. I was desperate for a well-fitting brown pair of pants, so I swallowed my disappointment and tried them on - fully expecting that I'd have to send them back. What a surprise! I LOVE these pants! They are beautiful, refined, and can be dressed up or down as needed. They fit like a glove and have the perfect rise and inseam length. It felt like I had put on a cozy pair of pajamas, but I'd feel completely appropriate to wear these to Denver to enjoy an afternoon at the museum and dinner afterward. They are more dressy than I am used to, but not SO dressy that I feel out of place in the mountains. Certainly, shoveling snow or playing with my dogs would be out of the question, but for puttering around the house, going out to lunch, or just feeling a "notch above" now and then, they are perfect! These pants are not seriously UPSCALE, but they are nice and look appropriate for the workplace or socializing. The only thing I don't like about them is that they have a little sag in the knees that develop after a few hours of wear. It isn't bad, but not my favorite. The inseam length is 30.5, which is my bare minimum and if they shrink one iota in the laundry, they will be too short. I would have preferred 31". The saggy knees aren't bad enough to bother me, but if they shrink at all, I won't be able to use them and will return them. It is so refreshing to find pants in brown. I was getting very tired of my blue denims and black pants and wanted some color variety in my wardrobe. These pants have opened up beautiful possibilities in my repertoire and I'm enjoying thei addition immensely. Highly recommended! Read more
This fits great in the waist although a little high for me. They fit comfortably and well until lived in a little. They stretch in the butt from sitting but won’t bounce back, so they look unflattering in that area after a couple of hours of wear. Ended up folding the waist down to make them fit better. Also the elastic inside the waist has folded over from sitting and is difficult to fix. Wouldn’t buy them again. Read more
Very comfortable and true to fit Read more
When I first got these pants loved them, after washing ….. sad to say they shrunk. And not just a little a lot, one wear isn’t worth $20 to me. Read more
The pants are made of 4-way stretch fabric which is of good weight not flimsy and they are very comfortable. They are a pull-on style so there is no bulk distorting the front of the pants. The leg is slim not skinny and therefore gives a streamlined look with slimming seams down front and back of the legs. There are 2 faux pockets in the back. Read more
Purchased 18S which shows a 28.5 inseam At first try - I loved these pants. Comfortable fit, flattering - even machine washable! Win! But once I needed to wash them - and followed ALL label instructions - I went to wear them again and they had significantly shrunk! So pants that fit great when purchased are now WAY too short. Side note, the waistband did roll but that in itself would not have stopped me from buying more - but the shrinkage did! Buyer beware! Read more
