These corduroy pants were purchased about 5 years ago. I wore them in rotation with other pants during the fall and winter, so the frequency of wear was low, and I think they are in very good condition. They have a high rise and are quite roomy, but they taper towards the hem, so you can wear them stylishly. The color is like a cross between black and charcoal, and I think the charcoal tone will increase with wear. I am 177cm tall and weigh 74kg, and they fit me just right. I'm selling them a little cheaper on Yahoo! Auctions. Please consider them.
