very soft and comfortable fabric, however I was surprised to see a thin, tight elastic in the waist, rather than a thicker more comfortable one. I am sure that I ordered the correct size per the description and based on trying the pants on when they arrived, but find the elastic uncomfortable. I will have to pay to have it changed. Also, I am not very tall (5'3") and the fold over of the waist is really long on me, which I do not mind, but this is a consideration.
