Terry Ankle Track Pants

I love the comfort and fit of these pants! Great for sitting at the computer watching it snow. I bought one pair at the Eileen Fisher store, found another pair on the Eileen Fisher website, and a third pair at a nearby department store, all on sale. I would like to have gotten black, which was not on sale, but am okay with navy, blue and rose. I purchased tops in the same material. The warmth is great this spring because cold weather has lasted longer than expected on the east coast. I liked regular size small; I usually wear medium or petites. I am five feet tall so it was nice to have jogger cuffs to be able to adjust the length a little. I am in my seventies and my style is casual. I recommend following the washing instructions so the fuzzy inside does not pill.

I found these to run large and they were pretty sloppy looking overall. The fabric feels cheap and does not retain its shape at all. Joggers can look polished with the right top, but these are not those. Worse, I found the construction to be pretty poor. The interfacing on the waistband comes out when I tie the waist, which feels pretty sloppy. As a garment sewing myself, this is a detail I noticed immediately and it only added to the already cheap feeling of them. I wore these for a few hours and took them off because I felt sloppy. I’m all for comfort, but not at the expense of tidiness.
