Core Stretch 4005 combines a missy relaxed fit and mid rise with a full elastic waistband. Cherokee specifies a straight leg and adjustable bungee cords at the hemline. Its 55% cotton, 42% polyester and 3% spandex composition offers a cotton-containing alternative to the all-synthetic iFlex and Infinity blends, while retaining spandex in the main cloth.
What changes in daily use
Two front patch pockets, a utility welt pocket and double cargo storage provide several places for a divided tool load. The cargo details include a pen pocket and instrument loop. This is more specialized organization than a simple pair of front pockets, so examine which openings are actually useful to you. A loop and a narrow pen compartment should not be treated as equivalent to a large general-purpose pocket when comparing capacity.
Fit and length
The published inseams are 28½ inches petite, 31 regular and 34 tall. Hem bungees let you change the opening around a shoe; they do not remove extra fabric along the leg. Check the length with the cord relaxed first, then make smaller adjustments. Since the manufacturer specifies an elastic waist rather than a separate drawstring here, choose a waist size that feels stable with pockets loaded. The captured navy large and black XL are variants of this same model.
