And they're only 44" wide, so unless you're very short, you'd need to buy a lot (and have very large left overs....).
I'm 5'9" by the end of the day. I measure 20" from navel to the top of my kneecap. So allowing for a 2" rise the 44" width fabric will work just fine for me. It's a bit on the light side, maybe 12 oz., but it's also a nice looking Cunningham plaid, which I've been jonesing for over 3 years now. And it's 30% off for a few more days.
