I wanted to like these jeans. They were just too tight in the waist. They fit great everywhere else but just too snug in the waist. I am normally a true size 8 but the proportions on these jeans just were not right and I had to return them. Too bad...
I like lycra in my tights but not in my jeans! After much searching I came across these Classic Double L jeans and love them. Bought a tall pair that fit as if made for me, and I will buy several more so I can always have a freshly laundered pair ready. Also, great shopping experience at the local store, with free, fast shipping. Thank you LL Bean!
PS I could only be happier if they were made in the US instead of Mexico.
