I ordered these because I wanted some black jeans, but the material is not exactly denim. It is more like a khaki type material. This is good, because I really like the fit and I can wear them to work because they are not jeans:) Plus, I am hoping that they will hold their color better than black jeans.
The waist on these is a little bit lower than the usual 'natural waist' Levi's-but it's still fine, not too low. They are also not super stretchy, so they are not sagging off by the end of the day. I'm kind of in between sizes and the size up is perfect. I'm 5'5'' and I ordered the long because I hate it when my pants are too short, and these are perfect in that there is some extra length so I can wear a heel if I want but if I don't, they are not dragging on the floor.
I am about to order another pair just to have them in case they are discontinued. If they came in 10 colors in the same fabric, I would probably order them all.
