I'm a petite woman who is mostly made of legs. I'm very pleased to report that these pants are actually long enough!

I read all the reviews for these pants before purchasing. I normally wear a 4, but I did buy the longest inseam in case they found their way into the dryer. The elastic waist-band did not bother me as some had mentioned, but the button did some, so I just covered the back with a small piece of fleece. The size 4 was 100% perfect from the hips down. Probably the best fitting pants I've ever had. Like several other reviewers, I found the waist large (seemed the same size as the hip). I decided to go ahead and put them in the dryer and see if shrinking helped (had been line drying them). As many other viewers said the length shrunk a TON. I'm glad I bought the long. So, if you plan to dry these pants - go much longer. It did not shrink the waist. So be prepared for a bit larger waist. I might try the size 2, but am worried from the hips down it will be too tight. I'm okay with a loose waist, but by the end of the day they do hang pretty low. I really love the pants , so just overlooking the larger waist.

For reference: I am 5'7", 128lbs, and work a sheep farm (athletic build) - purchased size 4 x 34"

So comfortable and look great!

I was really excited about these pants because it is hot out there! The fabric does seem lightweight, breathable, and durable on first wear. I also really like the selection of pockets and the color. The general construction seems very durable. My problem with these pants is with the waistband. The pants fit me great throughout except in the waist, which is arguably where it matters most. The waist is much too large for me, it could easily lose an inch to fit well. I am fairly petite but with wide curvy hips and generous thighs which the pants fit perfectly so a size down would be too small. The waistband is also lined with some fabric and stitching that is very scratchy and uncomfortable if I don't have my shirt tucked in.
