First off, these are my now my go-to pants! The dark colour is great for wearing to work and they're so comfortable! I love the style, comfort, big pockets, and loose legs. I'm a 28.5" waist and 40" hip and have the size Small. I was initially worried that the waist was too small when I first put them on, but after wearing them a few times, it's totally fine. (I'd say perfection for me would be having the waist half an inch bigger in total.) A few notes: the zipper tends to be a bit open right at the top and is visible sometimes (not sure if changing how the zipper is sewn or if the button placement would fix this). Also, I'm short-waisted, so some excess fabric buckles just under the waist band at the back. After a few days of wearing them, they do tend to give me a bit of a saggy underbum. Lastly, I was a bit sad to notice that the stitching in the bum seam has come undone so I need to get them repaired. I was a little surprised this happened so quickly (I bought them 2 months ago), but I do wear them A LOT! Overall, these are amazing pants, and a few tweaks could make them even better!
