These are the best looking pair of jeans I own. I wore my first pair out after a year of near daily wearing. (The started to pucker where the elastic threads woven in wore out.) These hold your gut in perfectly, and lift and shape your rear. My butt has never looked better than in these jeans! Soft and comfy, but a nice heavier weight denim. Not flimsy, thin stuff. Not rigid raw denim either. A perfect mix of soft and sturdy. I'm 5'5", 200 lbs and wear a size 14. These size 32 are a perfect fit.  Wear them rolled at the cuff with a pair of heeled booties for the perfect long legged look.
