“The relaxed fit is perfect for that casual slouchy look, especially if you like to wear things low rise on curvy hips. Though both materials are called “wearever fleece” I found this fabric in emerald to have a nicer finish and less pilly than the material used for the regular fit sweatpants. Not sure if it’s related to the dyes used for this colorway or if they have two different suppliers. All in all these are definitely my new favorite. I wish the ties were on the outside of the waistband, but it’s not a dealbreaker, especially as the relaxed fit have soft rubber aglets capping the waist ties vs the regular fit waist ties being a knot. All in all I think these are an improvement in every way over their regular fit counterpart and will be buying more colorways in this style.”
