Mine doesn't seem to be fitted in the rear waist. It fits me like PJ's from the 1950's.with no shape almost like a potato sack. I have several brands of medium size cargo joggers and they look and fit like the ones in the photo.loose in the waist and thighs and thinner at the knees and ankles. What I got was nowhere near close to that. Mine fits more like Karate pants than even classic fit, except that they can be tied at the ankles. Overall it seems to be cheaply made and I've bought a couple that costed less and were made better.The only reason I kept them is because I need some soon and I almost settled for some similar ones that didn't have tapered legs because a local store had them. Then I saw this product which showed tapered legs. If I knew the photo was not true to what the item actually is then I would have purchased the local ones instead. I needed white and there don't seem to be (non sweat pants) tapered leg cargo joggers in white anywhere.
