This is my 3rd time buying these Sammie faux leather pants. I bought my 1st pair in 2022 in Black & loved the fit of the pants. I just recently went back to buy the Cognac & Chocolate ones too. The hi rise of the pants came completely over my back side, I didn’t leave that opening in the back of the waistband. You must start at the ankles & keep working the pants all the way up, to get that high rise waistline.
