I like the substantial fabric in these jeans, but the snug fit in the waist caused me to return them. A larger size was not a solution because of the larger hip and thigh area.
I now have these jeans in two colors and love them both. They are comfortable, fit perfectly and are very flattering. They hide my saddlebags which makes me less self-conscious. They look great, feel great and I highly recommend them. I will eventually order another color.
I wear these jeans every day three seasons of the year. I prefer pants that sit at the waist and don't have spandex. I also want functional pockets. These have all of that. I'm 5'2" and 110 pounds. The regular length, size 8 fits well. Slightly long but workable. The material is substantial and they hold up well after washing. I definitely recommend these jeans.
