they are a slim straight fit, they arent nut huggers, but they arent dickies 874's either, they are slimmer than altamont davis slims as well. they are shiny, but that's because of the wax coating finish (which i love) but it dosent matter, after 2 or 3 washes, the wax stuff washed off. They are the perfect fit, pretty much the same fit as altamont wilshire's except they are work pants, definatley worth the money.
