I got these in a size 12, which is my bigger size, but honestly, they might be falling off me a little too easily. I like the slouch of a size 12 because it reminds me of my favorite Simon trousers where it's big but tapers into a point, but I think I want to size down to a 10 so I'm not sliding out of them. The fabric is a wool blend, and while I can definitely feel the wool texture, it's not scratchy to me at all. Though if you're super sensitive to wool, you might find it a bit much. The asymmetry with the button flap on just one side is so cool.
