These jeans were everything I had been searching for! The fabric is heavy, not the flimsy type that I kept seeing in stores. The color is the true "old fashioned" indigo blue that I had believed to be extinct. They are roomy enough the be comfortable, yet fit closely enough to look neat. Just to help other women my size I'll let you know i'm just under 5' tall, weigh just under 100 pounds, and bought size 6 petite. I absolutely love these jeans and I'm buying another pair today!
