These jeans have a similar fit and feel to Old Navy carpenter jeans, except they are stretchy. The legs are straight, but wide like carpenter jeans, and the waist on my size 36 was sized correctly, and a bit stretchy too. The thing I didn't like was the length. The 36W all come in 33.75L however mine fit more like a 36L. I usually wear a 32L and they come down to the floor, these were 4 longer, I measured. I also noticed they're a bit pricey. The thin lightweight denim may not hold up as well as Levis, however like I said, they feel like Old Navy; and for me those hold up for years. I don't usually wear stretchy cloths, but at ;least they aren't skinny jeans.
