Very nice quality pants, 97% cotton, 3% elastane, sturdy jersey that stretches. Color dark olive. Nice and long, wearable for tall people. But I do not understand how the pants should hold up. The seam with the pleats sits on the hip bone, the pleats pop up, which doesn`t look nice. This is the only part that fits snugly and keeps the pants in place! The waistband is gathered at the sides, but has no elastic, drawstring or anything else to keep the pants up. The waistband just sits loosely on the stomach. You can`t use elastic either, as the fabric is sewn together at the side of the gathering. Size 42 fits me at the hips, my stomach is bigger and more of a size 44.
