The pants aren't bad. I think the important thing to note is that the size is very true to expected, of which I was very appreciative. I ended up ordering two different sizes and going with the slightly larger size, because I didn't need them to be quite as snug (I often will buy 31 waist when available, because 32s are often just slightly loose but 30s are snugger than I prefer. Given that these are fairly slim fit, the 32s fit better. Also, the 32s were available in 33 length, which is perfect for me. Overall, the best thing about these pants are the larger number of sizes than many brands that you could buy, which allow you to really nail a good fit. It's worth ordering two pairs and keeping just what fits best (try before you buy is a great option here).
Side note: Amazon could do a better job of checking the returns, it seems. This pair arrived with a chapstick and pen in the pocket. Worse still, the pen had leaked and put a stain on the pants. Even if they had fit perfectly, I would have returned them for a different pair.
