These jeans are true-to-size, very soft, and have a good fit. They aren't my best-ever fitting jeans, but it takes a bit of searching to find those. The design fading is a bit more subtle in person and the jeans are slightly darker than pictured, in my opinion. I did have some trouble with the waistband sagging throughout the day; I didn't feel like they were necessarily too big, just that the waistband/rear end didn't quite fit me right and they kept slipping. I'm sure they would fit well on a different body type, though. Overall these are a great, comfortable jean.
