I write in praise of this fabulous pair of Oli & Hali corduroy pants. I am a US size 10, size M fits very well and super comfortable. The rear cinch can customize the fit at the waist. The 2.25" waistband is great for smoothing out this problem area of mine. The back pockets are strategically placed to optically diminish the, ahem, rear expanse.The camouflage along the sides are very slimming and elongate the legs, which is a nice trick since these are cropped pants. I wore this pair right away, got compliments at the grocery store on how cool these are. Pairs easily with fall boots.
