These breeches are PERFECT. Literally. The fabric is extremely light but compressive and smoothing, with a nice stretch. The waistband doesn't dig in, and the rise is perfect (hits right at my belly button). The knee patch grips are very sticky and also gorgeous. These are my dream breeches! I am usually a size 30, and got a 46 based on the size chart. They are very true to size. I can't recommend these enough!
