Dickies Women's Relaxed Cargo Pant

I was a bit nervous about purchasing pants over the internet, but gained enough confidence to do so after reading a review from a woman who matched my description. I am 5'7 120-125lbs, wide hips with a small waist and a long torso. These pants (the olive green size 4) fit like a glove! Absolutely perfect length in the legs, no muffin top, no camel toe, no bulging thighs. I am so happy with these pants that I purchased the black and brown, and am waiting for the khaki to be available in my size.Why I purchased these pants:I am a UC college student and I walk to class each day with my clipboard and blank paper, pencil and eraser pen, phone, and wallet. I don't like wearing a backpack because not only do I have scoliosis so the walk kills my back, it is also just unnecessary to bring anything more than I described to class, as the desks can't fit anything but a notebook. I also don't like using a purse because it is just one more thing to worry about and look out for, when all I do on the daily is carry what I described.That said, I was looking for some cargo pants to hold my wallet, samsung galaxy s4 phone, pencil and eraser pen.These pants are very good in doing what bought them for. One small hitch is the fact that the rear and front pockets are pretty much worthless for holding anything but credit cards, because while my galaxy s4 fits entirely in the front pocket without peaking out, it is a tight fit. Deep pockets, but tight. The saving grace to this is the pouches on the legs. The pouches can hold my wallet and monstrosity of a phone with an otterbox case without issue. They are also very easy to access as they are large enough without seeming bulky, and velcro! Love velcro. So much easier to open and close than buttons; snaps or otherwise. On the left side slightly above and to the right of the pouch is a slit where you can hold pencils and pens. Sitting down and crossing my legs, or sitting normally in a chair isn't influenced by putting pens in this small pocket. Very well placed. Everything is also held without bulk, which is nice! Especially for such a slim looking pant!So, with my phone in the right pouch, wallet in the left, and pencils in their respective place, I can trudge onward towards class with comfort, style, and convenience. I even like the placement of my items a lot more-so than in my other cargo pants, where I held everything in the front thigh pockets, whatever they are called. There is far less bulk this way!I highly recommend if you are in a similar situation to me. Or, if you just want a nice looking slimming pant.

So I ordered some pants for firearm training, including these and some 70 dollar Under Armours. I'm shocked to say I like these more and im returning the Under Armour pair. These are quality, soft, relaxed fit pants with nice, deep pockets and quality sewing. Though i was disappointed the smallest size available was a 2, basically in any color, I bought them anyway. They are so large, they absolutely would fall down buttoned and zipped without a belt. However, with a belt, they're just fine. They don't pucker strangely since they're so big which I was shocked about since the belt is probably shrinking then an entire 2 inches. They're super comfortable, I'm washing them right now and will try them out tomorrow and edit my review after a full 8 hours of range training. The length wasn't crazy either, which is a surprise because usually pants are way too long on my small troll body. Just for reference, I'm 5'5, 110 lbs. Hope this helps!

I own two pairs of these work pants: Black and Khaki.I'm about 5'7", 125 lbs and the size 4 is perfect for me. The waist on these pants is lower and a bit tighter than some other Dickies styles. This is great for me, as I have wide hips and a small waist. The style is great-looking: feminine but utilitarian, too.The material doesn't seem particularly rugged, but it's not super-thin either. The 100% cotton is soft and reasonably thick. The handiest feature is probably the pocket on the left leg for writing utensils. It's good placement - easy to reach, yet out of the way and not liable to fall out when I'm seated (as items are known to do sometimes from front pockets).The biggest disappointment with these pants, though, has to be the rear pockets. They are absolutely useless. I am a wallet-carrying woman, not a purse-carrying kind. My wallet belongs in my back pocket and with these pants I need to put it in a cargo pocket. I work in a factory, and sometimes it would be nice to be able to get full utility from the pockets when I have a lot to carry around. Another .5"-1" in pocket depth would eliminate this complaint, and make the pants infinitely better.Another problem, that I have had only with the black pair is some seam trouble. After only one wear and wash, the trim at the left front pocket has separated from the pant leg/front of pants. This is a pretty glaring quality problem for after only one wear. Upon closer inspection, it seems as though whoever stitched the pants sewed the trim too close to the edge of the pocket and missed part of it.If fashion is your goal, these are great pants - go for it. If utility is your main objective, the quality and design of these may or may not work for you.FYI - The product description says the bellowed pockets have hook and loop closure - this means velcro, nothing fancy.Finally, a note on color - the khaki is darker than pictured.Pros:Good quality materialsGood length and styleWriting utensil pocketCons:Material could be more ruggedRear pockets too small for my walletInconsistent construction quality - Dickies has serious problems with seams
