Champion Men's & Big Men's Powerblend Retro Joggers, Sizes S-2XL

I am 5'9 and female. These two facts together make it hard to find sweatpants made for my gender that go to my ankles, even in the women's section of champion. I bought these seconds after my boyfriend let me borrow his. My boyfriend wears a medium, way big on me. The small is still a bit big but girl are they comfy.

The sweatpants arrived with the strangest defect. One of the strings to tighten the waistband was sewn along the pocket seem. Luckily, I have a steady hand and was able to cut only the threading that was stitched to the pocket. I tried to photo this as best as possible. Other than the weird defect these fit great and these are surprisingly warm. I'm 5'9” and female, went with the small and the legs are the right length for my height. I really want to give at least a 4 star rating but can't due to the fact of the stitching and the cost of this item. I would expect better from something that's considered brand name.
