I just got home from my first shift in my new pants. I wait tables in a moderately busy upscale restaurant, so this is me, all sweaty and disheveled.I'm 5'9 and about 155 lbs. I usually wear a 6 or 8. When long length is available, I go for it! In this case, only the 6 was available in long, so even though I've put on a few pounds lately, I took a chance and avoided the temptation to order the size 8. Well, I'm pleased to say that the pants go all the way down to my feet! And the waist band is only a little snug. I wear an apron, so I wasn't worried about the possibility of a little muffin top. I was hoping that the higher waist would help keep my shirt tucked in but it failed me. (Probably more the fault of the apron than the pants.)The back pockets are deep enough for my credit card style wallet but too shallow for my smartphone, but at least I can sit without worrying about sitting directly on my phone. The front pockets are deep enough for a few odds and ends and my keys. I tried putting my phone in the front pocket, but it restricts my movement. No big deal. I already keep my phone in my waiter book.I will be curious to see how these pants hold up for a week of wear and for how long they last. 98 cotton will probably fade faster than polyester.
