I’ve been buying size medium for years without problem and all of a sudden, this pair of pants and the FotL’s I bought a week ago hang so long that I have to hike the waistband up over my stomach to keep them from dragging under my feet. Did the definition for “medium” change when I wasn’t looking? And to make matters worse, the cuff design exacerbates the long cut — why put elastic at the bottom leg hem when it’s not cinched any smaller at the ankles than the material? There is almost no bunching or pleating at all at the bottom hem. At least the waistband is sufficiently cinched so that I don’t have to tie the drawstring to keep my pants up, unlike the FotL’s.

On the positive side, the pants are comfortable and feel good. Pockets are nice and deep and are made of a thinner jersey cloth, I’m guessing so they’re not as bulky. Overall though, I can’t help but feel I paid a premium just for the extra stitching and the embroidered Champion logo.
