Hi! These are too big on me and have only been worn twice. Lighting is challenging in Oregon in December, sorry! I'll try again tomorrow. They definitely are not brown like they are showing up. blake is a military trouser that was patterned from an old pant of Carrie's that has been worn down to the threads. sewn from a yarn-dyed Japanese cloth with a beautiful slub in the weave. could be mistaken for the original fabric used for military wear from WWII era. patterned, cut, and sewn in the USA from a 100% cotton fabric. the blake is intended to have a slouchy/oversized fit. if between sizes, take the smaller size for a less slouchy fit.
