I wanted them to shrink some. I like the 82% cotton and 8% spandex. I washed in Sanitize cycle. Hot water. I am too short for the XL. Have to shrink them. After spending a lot of money and now sending 100% polyester back. I have about 8+ pairs of Willits. These are the only pants I have found that are perfect for me. I am 80 years old and I wear these year round. Have to keep out of the sun. Wear with one of my 20+ long sleeve sun block shirts. I have actually gone on a styling/Matching pair of sneakers, binge. Red, white and blue, black and gold, yellow, silver, hyper green (same color as my Jeep),red some Nike’s and Peak, etc. I digress. These pants shrink though for me. Like to see some more colors.
