There are some pills on the inside. The length is long, so I used to fold them up, and there are pills on the folded-over part. However, the outside looks relatively clean. Denim tends to fade a little bit with each wash, but I think this one is less prone to fading. You often see denim pants with fleece lining, but I thought this type, like slacks, was also nice and I wore them. I will compress them slightly and ship them via Yu-Packet Post. Thank you.
