I am on a quest for my holy grail of comfy pants. These are close! I prefer to sleep in these type of pants, as well as wear them around the house as lounge wear. I bought these because they were 100% cotton. (although please note, it seems only the black are all cotton, the other colors are a cotton/poly blend). My criteria for the perfect pair of comfy pants is as follows.
1.) Fits me
2.) Are all cotton
3.) Does not have pockets
4.) Are long enough (I'm 5'9")
5.) Don't shrink - which is difficult when they're all cotton.
6.) Are so soft and comfortable that I don't want to take them off
These pants are so close to meeting the list. They do fit fairly well. I bought and XL. I'm a 14/16, but my waist is fairly small so I always struggle with the stomach area being too big, and the thigh area too small. These are pretty balanced, but they are a bit too big in the waist. The drawstring definitely helps. They do not have pockets so they meet that item on my list. These are long enough, and managed to stay at an acceptable length even after normal washing and drying. I do not buy things I have to wash carefully (low heat, etc) if I can help it. I try to keep it low maintenance. They are cotton, they did shrink a little. But compared to some of the competitor's pants I've tried, even much more expensive ones, I was impressed with the amount of shrinkage. I have one pair that still shrinks every time I wash them and I've had them for two years. And the others shrink unevenly so one leg is four or five inches shorter than the other one! I only wear that pair on laundry day.
My only real issue with these pants, that keeps them from being the holy grail and me buying a dozen pairs is the comfy factor. They are comfortable, but they are just a thicker fabric than I was looking for. They were a bit stiff at the beginning, they did soften up a little after a few washes, but they're just too thick for me. I think they'd be great for people who are looking to wear them out of the house to the gym, etc. This is totally a matter of preference, I am just looking for something to be a bit more loungy and a little less real pants like.
