From the manufacturer

Original American Sportwear Since 2901
Inventor of the Sweatshirt

The Pioneer, Inventor & Creator of the Sweatshirt

Ben Russell Jr. had an idea for an all-cotton practice football jersey to replace the itchy, chafing wool uniforms worn at that time. Knowing the comfort and durability of cotton, the iconic crew neck sweatshirt was born and began production in the Russell Athletic mills in 1930.

Customers say

Customers find these athletic pants comfortable with a soft, thin cotton feel, and appreciate their generous sizing with deep pockets. They are lightweight, with one customer noting they're suitable for cooler fall temperatures, and look dressier than most sweatpants. The material quality receives mixed feedback, with some praising the quality while others find them poorly made, and customers disagree on the fit, with some reporting they run about 2 inches too long.

    5.0 out of 5 stars It has been difficult finding good lounging pants for my husband
    Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    It has been difficult finding good lounging pants for my husband. I always used to buy Russell Athletic lounging pants and pocket Ts and he was very happy with them. For the past three years or more, it has become impossible to find Russell Athletic Tshirts and lounging pants for men. All the stores I used to buy them from, no longer carried them. It has been a disappointing search buying other brands. Nothing was quite as nice as Russell Athletic. Then I found them here and am so happy, that after my initial order, I bought more. Russell Athletic pants are the perfect fabric. They are the perfect thickness. Not too thick, and not so thin that they are flimsy and horrid looking. They just have a really good feel to them. My husband loves them. These pants have an elastic waist plus a drawstring. I cut the drawstring and tied large knots on either end so they don't get lost inside the pants. Yes, the drawstring is a tad flimsy, but it's decent enough. There are pockets on each side. These pants are so comfortable. They were shipped out quickly. We are very happy with our purchase and will probably be back for more..

    5.0 out of 5 stars Best *lightweight* jersey pants
    Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    Both my husband and I love these pants for everyday casual/home office wear. I buy smalls for me, large for him, and we both have more than a few pairs which we wear daily - with a tee, they're perfect for how we want to use them. I think people who don't like them don't understand that the fabric is TEE SHIRT WEIGHT - no more than that - so if you're looking for traditional sweats, these aren't them. But if you're planning on wearing them in a heated environment like a home office, or if it's spring or summer (or fall), and you're not one who is always cold, these are great. The price is right, the comfort level is 5 stars (elastic waists, drawcord), they wash well and don't shrink (esp. the gray colors, which are part polyester but they feel like all cotton, not poly) - I usually just wash in warm water and dry on low, or sometimes I hang to dry on a drying rack. Easy to take care of , easy to wear. I like that, so does my husband, I bet you will too. Just don't expect traditional fleece sweats! and you'll be happy with these pants.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Not exactly what I was expecting
    Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    I bought two of these expecting "sweat pants". These are basically thick cotton cloth, rather than the "sweat shirt" kind of material I thought they'd be. The rating is based mostly on them not fulfilling my expectations and the lack of adequate description in what one was getting.

    I find the material to be rather harsh against my skin. I don't think it's particularly sturdy, though in warm weather it breathes a bit better than I expected. It's also prone to shrinking more so than the sweatshirt kind of material my other sweatpants are made from. (I wash them in cold water, medium heat to dry).

    I occasionally wear it when I'm washing other clothes because they do fit as expected, but their lack of comfort for me just means I can't honestly give it a 3 star. I still have one of the two in the package and I bought these about a year ago. That should tell you a lot.

    If that kind of material and thing is what you're looking for, I expect these will at least fit you, but be careful about how you wash them. Other than that, I' wouldn't recommend them for anything other than something to throw on when you don't have anything else to wear and want to avoid embarrassment around the house.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good sweatpants, but a little baggy
    Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    These are good lightweight sweatpants, but they’re a larger cut that expected. I ordered size medium for my husband who has a 34” waist and a 32” inseam. The length is fine, the waist fits but the legs flare out from the waist. He’s skinny so has trouble finding pants that fit well. He can wear them without a problem, but they’re just a little baggy in the seat. They’ll work fine for someone who prefers or needs a looser fit. We ordered a pair of Champion retro rugby sweatpants at the same time, and they fit much better.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Nice sweat pants. Good buy. Very comfortable.
    Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    The Russell Athletic Mens Athletic Fleece Open-Bottom Pant was a good buy. It was nice regular sweat pant, and it was definitely is comfortable. Great for cool weather. The sweat pants are in my opinion feels a little thinner than I remember them to be in the past, so you have to want or be use to that. There are different weights of sweat pants, and these are probably the thinner weight of the brand sweat pants. Russell Athletic makes good sports clothing. I never have an issue with the brand. And, it is one of my go-to brands having worn the brand growing-up as a kid to now. I like the open-bottom version sweat pants rather than the closed-cotton with the elastic. I don't like bunch-up on the pant leg. I feel it breathes better with more air-flow with an open leg opening. I recommend these sweatpants as long as that is what you want a thinner-feeling pair of sweat pants and with an open-leg-bottom.
