Great pants-poor quality control

These are my all time favourite pants. I have 2 or 3 pairs in every colour, all the same size. For reference I am 5 ft 4", approx 120lbs and I purchased in a size XXS as I find they tend to stretch out quite a bit after wearing for a while and they do fit big overall-just not in length-see rest of r...

AWFUL, What the heck Athleta?

I bought these last year and they are long gone to the Second Hand Store nearby. The waistline either sits up so high or the crotch seam is half way down to your knees. Bulky material across the stomach and the pockets on the backside were unflattering. I can't believe they are still for sale. ...

Petite too long

I have purchased these linen pants the past year. The petites this year are too long. Also seems like the quality of the material is thinner. I do love the brown and blue for this year.

I really like the fit and details of these pants, but they are see through. Run big. Size down one size. Unfortunately I will be return. Ordered three colors and all of them are too thin.

What happened to the petite sizing in the undyed pant which is the most traditional linen colour??? Are they coming back this season???? Awesome pant, but the regular sizing is way too long for someone who is 5'4".

I ordered the color cacti in a small. When I tried them on they were 2 inches longer than my other 4 colors that I ordered last year. All regular length. Also very disappointed in the fit! Turned around and it looked like I was wearing a diaper! I will be wearing these in my garden. Too embarrassed to wear in public!

So much material

Wish I had read the reviews first. I have a pair of white linen pants in petite from Athleta from a few years ago, but these are not the same. First off, the petite length is still far too long and drags on the ground (I'm 5'2). And the wide leg is EXTRA wide. I can get both of my legs in one pant leg. Sadly, I have to return.

Good quality

The petite length still too long (I'm 5'2"), so I'm not going to be able to wear them with comfy summer sandals . I hope it shrinks a little bit after washing. Love the detail of the zippered pockets. Definitely a good quality linen.

Nice quality, run absolutely massive

I was pleased at the quality and make of the pants, but size down! I am typically a small, however i was shocked how large these pants run. I am swimming in them, even after a hemming ( I am 5'3 ) I have to sinch the pants as tight as possible.

I guess I see why these were so marked down. I bought my usual Athleta size and they were swimming — and not in an elegant way, in a "so sloppy I can't leave the house in these" way. Too bad because the style would have been cute if they had been made properly. The hip area was especially huge. These might work better on a taller person who could balance out some of the leg-volume with height. At 5'4" and about 90lbs, I looked like as square as SpongeBob.

Sizing is way off

I have a couple of pairs of these pants from previous years. Last year's version in XS petite was perfect. This year, the same size is way too long and very large overall. I will be returning these.

Great pants!!!

So happy with this purchase. It is my first pair of Athleta linen pants. The quality is unbelievable for this price. Perfect fit! Cannot wait to wear them and hope to purchase a 2nd pair!!! For reference, I am 5'7 ish and about 155 pounds. The medium is a perfect fit!
