There's a reason our tights are great sellers, year in and year out. And that reason is our Energy fabric. It's made of New Zealand Merino, naturally, here in a winter weight. But it also has a touch of nylon and Lycra - around the office we call it stretch wool. This is fabric that moves w...

The pattern design of these pants is superb - no side seams make the heavy-ish fabric work well - they're not at all bulky or uncomfortable. I am, after washing them and drying them on "hot" in an effort to shrink them (it worked but not quite enough), finally working up the courage to cut them apart and take up the top of the back seam a bit, so that the band rides at my natural waist. But this is not to be taken a criticism of these pants in general. Like I said, I done this before, and it's because I'm (apparently) not shaped like many other people. I bought them for yoga in cold rooms, but I've been wearing them waaaay more than I thought I would. You can go out in public in them and not look like you're in your jammies, but feel like you're in your jammies, maybe even still in bed. Great buy!
