The verdict
Fit
Expect the brand's usual relaxed, roomy fit carried into womens sizing, likely running oversized, so sizing down is worth considering for a closer fit.
Quality
Flannel lounge fabric should feel soft and brushed, in line with the brand's general lounge quality, though it's a softer, less structured fabric than the standard fleece.
Is the price fair?
$145 for a flannel lounge pant is high relative to flannel loungewear generally, reflecting brand premium more than material cost.
Best for
Shoppers wanting a soft, oversized flannel lounge pant specifically in this brand's aesthetic.
Care
Wash cold on a gentle cycle to keep the flannel from pilling, and avoid high heat.
What owners report about ESSENTIALS sweatpants
One owner's year-long wear report found the fleece held up well: no pilling on the thighs and no thinning at the knees after regular winter wear, with the boxy-at-first fit relaxing into a straighter drape after repeated washing. The main complaint was the waistband, which stretches noticeably over a day of wear and only tightens back up after washing. Care guides separately flag the fabric as delicate, recommending an inside-out cold hand wash rather than a machine wash and dry to avoid shrinkage or print damage.
