Silk Long Underwear Pants

These are hands down the best silk long underwear I've found in terms of thickness and warmth…absolute perfection. 5 stars for that. BUT, the ankles are poorly designed. It's the stitching that connects the stretchy cuff that baffles me. They're fine when on, but inexplicably tight with not nearly enough stretch/give in the stitching for putting them on and taking them off. I don't have large feet, and I can barely get the ankle of these things over my heel without popping stitches. I've been buying these for years—so many pairs—and only 1 iteration ever had enough stretch in that stitching to easily get them over the heel. I thought, finally, they fixed the problem! Nope. The next year they went right back. Sigh.
