As described, these pants are very soft. The problem is the care instructions: they're too pretentious for something you should be lounging in. parts. These include: Do not tumble dry Do not expose to the sun Need to hang them out to dry in the sun? Now I worry about what will happen if they are exposed to the sun. That's too much for slacks. If I had seen the label beforehand I would not have bought it because the fact that you relax shouldn't be a stress.
