A style of short trousers cut generously through the hip and leg to allow maximum range of motion. They usually feature an elasticated or drawstring waistband rather than a tailored fly. They are typically sewn from durable, washable fabrics like cotton twill, terry cloth, or jersey, intended for children's wear or adult activewear.
