I bought these in the olive green and the blue/white stripe, and opted to size up since the linen/cotton has no stretch and I didn’t want them ripping when I sat down. These have been soooo comfy to have this summer!! I’m 5’5” and these come to mid-thigh when I wear them at my natural waist. Best features are the pockets. Deep in the front, and functional in the back. They also are great at covering a fupa, if that’s a concern. The leg holes are graded well, and I found them plenty roomy for sitting, standing, and walking around even when sweating.As with any garment, if you take care of it, it will take care of you. I wash these in cold water on a delicate cycle and then hang them to dry. I toss them in the dryer on an air-only setting so that they lose their stiffness (optional), and that’s pretty much it. Since I have large thighs, I did end up with a bit of pilling, but that’s easily removed with a straight razor. You can steam them if you want, but I found that most wrinkles shook out.
