These are easy wearing pants! Made of 100% cotton, ours have a drawstring waist, and tie at the pant bottom. Wear them tied at the ankles or blouse them up and tie them at the knee. Because they are lightweight, they tuck into boots easily. Pockets may not be period but they are useful, so we've added two inconspicuously in the seams on these comfortable trews. Machine wash and hang dry.
