Perfect fit! And I have a hard time with things fitting well

I have loved Banana Republic in the past. I have long legs and finding appropriate trousers for work has been a challenge. Banana Republic used to be somewhere I could reliably find long, well-tailored pants. I own two pairs of BR pants which are size 8L. They are a bit too large in the waist for me, but the length is amazing, so I ordered these in a 6L. They were a little too tight and short (I could wear them, but I didn't like how the front pleat pulled completely flat) so I opted to size up. To my disappointment the 8L were too large in the waist and still too tight in the thigh. This pant also claims a 33.5" inseam. You have to stretch the pant out lengthwise to hit 33.5" - this fabric does not drape to that length. All this to say: my long-legged, semi-thick-thighed friends... move along. These are not for us.

Pants are just right, true navy blue. I'm 5'6" tall, 188lbs, size 12 regular. The front zipper area is a little long, but I like that. The pants are a little long but I can wear a 1" flat without them sweeping the ground.

The quality of the wool pant is fine, it's very light and flowy if that is what you want. They should work great in the summer. However, because there is no lining, anywhere they are touching your skin they reveal things you may want to hide, the pockets on the back will move about or ride up and make your back side look sloppy. On the front, if you have any kind of hip the pockets flare out a little. On the bright side, they are wool so they have a nice drape, they are naturally resistant to staining so they stay clean a lot longer than their ponte pant. I wouldn't buy these full price due to missing features I would expect at this price point (lining, better construction on the pockets). I just wish BR would go back to lining some of their professional pants, because there is little that looks professional about their work pants once you wear them for a few hours.

Love the quality of the pants. I wear a 4 in other brands and purchased a 2. Also I have a 31 inch inseam. These pants say 30.5 but they were still a full length pant for me. These are a very classic pant. I feel the weight of these pants could be a year round pant.

Tailored and drapey, almost linen like wool, breathable, Perfection.

I have a small waist and flat stomach but curvy hips and bum. High waisted pants are my friend. No gaps in the back and a lovely drape on the legs. These are the best pants I've ever owned! From the moment I tried them on I understood why wool is one of the best materials for suits and slacks. These pants are a natural fiber, lightweight, breathable and tightly woven. Can be worn year round. They cost more than typical polyester dress pants because of these factors. These will last for years! It's worth the price. Wait for a sale and buy these pants!

Really lovely fabric and drape. Would have given 5 stars, but seems to wrinkly easily.

The fabric is very thin and the look is baggy. I generally wear an XS, 0, or 25 waist. The fabric seemed much less nice than most of Banana Republic's pieces. I will be returning them. There is fine line between relaxed fit and baggy; these fell into the baggy category. The color was close to what was expected,
