Gave it four stars just because they seemed to be good bang for the busk. Fit was very loose in the waist, beyond just tightening a belt, and fit perfect everywhere else. I sent them back. Ordered 34 30, according to recommendation, but I usually wear 32 30 Levis 505 and most other pants. These are really nice jeans in a nice faded color. Knee protection is in the right place. Hip pads dense foam, pretty unobtrusive. They might fit you if you have a wide waist and skinny legs. I'm 5'8" 156 lbs.
