Some reviewers said the fabric was soft and comfortable.  Not so much.  It's strong, stiffer denim.  But the fit was very good. I also have grown to dislike low rise jeans and seek out jeans that reach my belly button.  These fit the bill nicely.  I did yard work for two days in them.  Stretching, bending and kneeling.  Never sagged out of shape like some jeans with spandex in them do.
