    These pants are comfortable, flexible, and fit nicely. The fabric feels durable as well, and there's buttons on the side that can change the size of the waist, which is a great feature. Another smaller feature about these is the sizing system, which is awesome for people with abnormal proportions. I'd certainly buy these again, especially if there were more colors available.

    Even though they are supposed to be short, the inseam was 29 inches. I had to hem them. This also means the phone pocket is at my knee! Other than that, I do like them. They are comfortable and I like the material they are made of.

    At first I loved these pants when I first bought them, so much that I ended up ordering them in the cream color! But after I wore them and washed them for the first time and followed the care instructions, they came out of the washer faded that it looked like bleach got all over them and I was worried I got bleach in the washer but after reading all the other reviews, people are saying the same thing happened to them!! I wouldn’t buy these in the green color because they end up getting ruined :( I am very sad because I loved these!! also, I would like to add I think Target should refund you for your item if it’s defected.

    These pants quickly became one of my go to’s. So much so, I bought them in every color. Unfortunately, what people have said is true, and they faded and left a “bleached” looking spot on them after washing them following the care instructions. It sucks because I love them but now they look weird.

    I really LOVED the fit of these pants. I loved it so much I bought it in the cream and black pair as well. The pants are soo comfy and they fit sooo well over my mom pooch! However here is where I am VERY disappointed in these pants. The first pair I washed it alone in the washer and it looked like it was bleached so I was like “oh no! I must have spilled some bleach accidentally on them” no worries I went and bought a second pair. So then I go and wash this second pair with in a light load with other clothes that I call my “delicate care” well when I pulled these pants out again they looked like they were bleached!!! I’m so mad bc this is the second pair. And I didn’t use any bleach just a regular sensitive dye free tide pod. So now two pairs are gone and I’m sad. The care instructions are not accurate.

    Okay, I read the reviews about the fading, the length, etc. I washed my pants, SEPARATELY, like the TAG SAYS, and I also through in a white cloth to see for myself if the color faded/bled. NO fading, no bleeding. I washed them in WARM water, too! Dried them on MED heat, NO fading! No wrinkling. Guys, 100% cotton will wrinkle, cargo pants pockets always wrinkle. Its the nature of the product🤷♀️ Mine came out wrinkle free, though. Length, before washing they were perfect in length, and I am just under 5’5. I do think they run a tad big. I give them 5 stars.
