I was wearing the khaki pants when I fell in front of my house. When I looked, the knee of my pants was covered with grass stains and dirt, and I thought for sure that the material was damaged, and the pants were ruined. When I looked at them later, I saw that the material was still intact, so I applied a stain remover, and hoped for the best. A couple of days later they came came out of the washing machine looking brand new. I couldn't even see where my knee had hit the sidewalk.* A tumble in the dryer, back in the closet, and we're good to go. I also have these in black, navy, shocking pink, and azalea. As expected, the black and navy really show lint, and pet hair, so I favor the khaki pair, so much so that I bought another pair in khaki. I wear the black, navy, and khaki to the gym. I bought the shocking pink and azalea to wear as pajama bottoms, and they are working out great for that. None of the pants, even the darker colors, have faded, and they get softer, and more comfortable, with each wash. I ordered several other colors that I didn't like, and returns were a breeze. I put them back in the original packaging, printed the label, and put them in my mailbox. I love the deep side pockets. I can stash a lot of stuff in them, and know that it won't fall out. I'm 5'6", and weigh 138 lbs. The medium fits me fine in the waist and they're just the right length for me. They could even be a bit shorter, and still look good. My only complaint is that the butt and legs are extremely baggy, and that's minus one star. They're so baggy that, when I walk fast, the pant legs whack against each other below my knee. It would be nice if these were offered in a tapered leg. *Too bad I didn't fare as well. The next day everything on my right side was sore and/or bruised; shoulder, elbow, hip, knee. It took awhile to recover, and I still have a mark on my elbow that is slowly resolving.
