Love these jeans. Plan to buy more in other colors. These pants are mid-rise so waist is right below belly button and thus there's no no tight uncomfortable feeling that can come with high rise pants that fit across the bigger part of my stomach. The elastic has just enough give around waist band to stretch comfortably when sit down. The fabric feels soft and comfortable. I like the length of the pant leg and that the legs are narrow straight. I've not washed yet so can't speak about how it is after laundered. I may decide to dry clean to avoid taking the risk of shrinkage.
