Classic Levi's look and feel and the regular cut provides extra thigh room to keep things relatively comfortable for use in situations where you'll be moving around a lot in your jeans. The 'Demic - Stretch' colored version is a normal (not too dark or light) hued dye of denim with a gentle touch of fade washing from mid-thigh to mid-calf to give it a semi broken in look. The jeans are listed as 'regular taper' but I found the taper to be on the narrow side which is a good thing as it allows the opening to bunch up against my footwear without having to roll it up. Waist and length sizing is indeed true to fit.
