I have been very happy with these jeans.  I have not owned them long enough to know how long the color lasts so my opinion may change later on in which case I will include an update.  But they are holding up quite well after several washes.  These jeans fit quite nicely too.  I would prefer a higher waist but these are midrise and show a little too much in the rear when I bend over.  I cannot mark them down for this as that is the nature of the midrise.  I just make sure I wear really long shirts that provide good coverage.  These jeans fit very well in the thighs, have a lovely dark color with just enough texture to keep them from looking unnaturally flat. They hold their shape well even if worn a second day. The material is thick enough to hide all the imperfections you may not wish to advertise.  Overall a great pair of jeans so far.
