Long Leggings

I technically purchased the PEDAL length, but am adding my review here in case it helps someone choose a fabric/length. I’ve been desperately searching for COMFORTABLE (in the waist) and durable cotton leggings in different colors and have finally have great success with these. I got the folded waistband and love that there’s no elastic. I’ve become a fan of the HEAVY stretch hemp/cotton blend from Gaia and just received a few new pairs of these leggings in that fabric, which has fit great all day long. Since this fabric seems to cut/shrink on the longer side, I went with the pedal length hoping it would work for both summer and winter without excess fabric at the end. They’re perfect! I will say that the bottom edge of the "pedal", perhaps being cut a bit shorter, is just a tad wide so the opening isn’t as streamlined in the fit as I would like—-overall not a major issue and really it's only a tiny bit looser. I can tug them up for a slightly more summery cut or they can be pulled down to their full length to fit over socks in winter without feeling too cropped. I’m 5’4″ 160 lbs and the medium fits wonderfully. LOVE!

I bought these from someone else in the Stretch Organic Cotton, in Terracotta. I recommend this fabric over the Hemp/Cotton blend which relaxes a bit more as you wear it, also I got these in XS for a nice snug fit whereas in other brands I'm a S or M. Either way, these leggings are less elastic than others mainstream brands that use Spandex, Nylon and Elastane but it occurred to me as I was walking in them today how luxuriously soft and BREATHABLE these are. It feels a treat having this feel against my skin. Definitely recommend!
