I loved the idea of these pants. I have such a hard time finding durable work pants that are comfortable and fit, so I was excited to see the high waist and long length option on these. I'm just under 5'10", 150 lbs, athletic build. I'm usually a size 6 or 28/29 and was on the fence between a 6 long and an 8 long. I went with the 8 long because they are 100% cotton, so I figured they'd have no stretch and probably shrink in the washer/dryer. The long length of these were good, but that's about it. While they did sit at the right place at my waist, the dreaded waist gap was in full force, there was a ton of extra room in the front lower belly area, yet they somehow fit snug in the butt. And then were way too big in the thighs. Just awkward for me. The fabric seemed nice and durable, but with the awkward fit and no stretch, so I know sizing down to a 6 would be too uncomfortable to work in, unfortunately!

I love these pants. Fitted in all the right places and loose in all the other right places. My new fav pants to wear all the time. I'm all about multipurpose and these are cute enough to wear with a fun top and go out but also durable enough to take my puppy out and get paw prints all over them.

I purchased these pants at the exact same size as the tag on my older car hearts and they are 4 inches smaller in the waist and therefore I cannot use them

I am so happy with these pants! I love the high rise, the quality, sturdy canvas, and the ability to bend and move easily in them. As other reviewers have stated, I really wish that they came in black. The Carhartt size recommender is off, though - it recommended a 6, which I thought was large compared to my other pants, and I bought a 4 and exchanged them for a 2. For reference, I am 5'6", 130 lbs.
