These are nice, simple, basic, unadorned jeans -- nothing fancy, but plenty comfy and seemingly durable.  The jeans themselves fit as expected and are quite comfortable for the most part -- however, the waistband is  tight.  I have purchased three different pairs of Carharrt jeans and found the legs and things to be on the loose side but the waistband to be on the tight side.  The jeans themselves are loose-fitting, but getting the waist buttoned was a bit of a challenge.  Aside from the tight waist, they're just what I wanted and expected.  Although the picture shows these as sitting below the waist, I felt like the sat closer to my natural waist.
