I initially ordered the pants in black, because black always works. I was so impressed that I immediately ordered 3 more in other colors. The colors are very nice, just like in the pictures, not obtrusive. Both the M and L fit me perfectly. I`m just over 160 cm tall and the pants are about ankle-length. The fine corduroy looks great and is super light and comfortable, so you can wear them in summer. In cooler temperatures, simply wear a pair of leggings underneath to keep out the cold. So far, the color and shape have remained stable after washing. I love these pants!
