Even though these are too large for me I gave them 5 stars because they are awesome jeans with great material, and wonderful comfort. The size was my fault, and I believe these jeans are true to size. After reading many of the reviews, I thought ordering a 31R would be the best choice for added roominess, but since they are midrise jeans, and too large, the front closure is less than flattering. I will exchange them for a 29R and that should do the trick. There was no receipt enclosed so I will have to send a message to find out how to exchange them.
