Comments:
I almost returned these pants. They were darker, more "charcoal gray / khaki" and larger than expected. They are way too long and the thread but not the fabric shrunk washing in warm water. I'm going to hem them but it will be tricky as they have a 2" vent along the bottom outside seam. But I love the material and the comfort so decided to go through the hassle of altering them and doing cold water washes on them.
