These jeans are perfect!.. I oredered two more pairs in other colors... I wear a size 48/32 and so because of the high percentage of accurate fittnes, I ordered my original size and I'm glad that I did. The jeans have an elastic at the waist and stretches very widely to the point I can stick one arm down my jeans while buttoned and zipped up. Other jeans I definitely tried that and it was a major FAIL!. =)
