I purchased the Cherokee workwear scrubs cardigan warm up jacket and needed pants to go with it. I purchased 2 different pants both in navy to match the jacket. I am 53 years old and a size 8 in pants. I work in a hospital doing direct patient care. My review includes both pair of pants.<br /><br />First I wanted material that would hold up well and would not look wrinkled. The KOI scrubs are soft but the all cotton content makes them look wrinkled and sloppy all of the time. The Mid rise pants are 55% cotton 42% poly 3% spandex. The Low rise pants are 65% Poly 35% Cotton. They both feel about the same. Not the new super soft stretch material, but fabric with enough body to look pressed, but are not scratchy.<br /><br />Both pants have 2 deep patch pockets in the front, no back pocket, and 1 right leg cargo pocket. I have noticed that the legs are fitted enough that if I store my larger smartphone in the cargo pocket, the legs fit a little tight when sitting, The patch pockets in the front are straight and deep. No worries about your lunch money falling out.<br /><br />Both have a slightly flared leg, a little more in the Mid rise pants. Both pants have a draw string waist with a slight amount of elastic. Not enough to hold the pants up on their own, but the material the draw string is made of seems to prevent them from coming untied.<br /><br />I am 5'2' 30 inch inseam size 8 and had to shorten both pairs of pants. They both run large. I ordered a small in each based on other reviews and they fit well.<br /><br />This is how the pants differ. The mid rise pants have a seam down the center of the back of the leg from waist to floor, and the waist band hits just at the waist, but not too high.<br /><br />The Low rise pants have seams at the knee going around the pant leg and the waist band hits about 2 inches below the natural waist.<br /><br />I liked both pants enough to keep them. The price was excellent and they will hold up to the hot sanitizing wash I put them through each wearing. The Navy matches the Cherokee Workwear jacket perfectly. However, at my age, and with what I do, I feel the low rise fit a little too low and I want to keep pulling them up. I prefer the mid rise pants because of this. Either is a solid choice for the price.<br /><br />Cherokee Women's Workwear Scrubs Cardigan Warm-Up Jacket, Navy, Small<br /><br />Cherokee Women's Workwear Scrubs Low Rise Draw String Cargo Pant, Navy, Small[<br /><br />[ASIN:B006TLY98S Cherokee Women's Workwear Scrubs Mid-Rise Core Stretch Drawstring Cargo Pant, Navy, Small]]
