Raimey,
They are great, especially if made of leather(lederhosen). My wife loved then too. I have a pair for winter made of elch( moose) leather, and a pair for summer, made of kalb( calf) leather. I wore them most every day and my wife didn't have to wash them. For old jaegers, the more they "shine" on the front, the better( sign of use, experience). An old saying was when they will stand up by them selves, they are right. They are easy to wear boots with, easy to climb in, and don't "ride up".
