City Threads are hands down the best pants for my young child who struggles with zippers and sensory sensitivity with pants (prefers shorts). Starting school we needed easy pull on, soft and stretchy pants. Every website and store has joggers, slim fit or fleece…nothing for our preferences or needs. City Threads meets all of the criteria for Kindergarten approval plus the pockets are great! As far as sizing, my child is tall and medium build so we typically go with the next size/age up and the length is generous which is hard to find. I love the athletic style and now the 3 pocket style, please keep them in stock because we will be lifelong customers!
