This is size 27 but the waist actually measured to 32". Making it fit a slender 10/12 instead of the usual 8, in case you wondered

You can tell these jeans are quality when you take them out of the package. I'm not a clothing snob at all, I wear anything I can find that looks good and sometimes change what I don't like by tailoring myself, maybe dyeing it or adding embellishments, etc. I have thin legs so I prefer a jean with stretchy qualities, so I don't have bulky denim just hanging. The fit on these jeans is EXQUISITE. They are actually technically too small for me, but I ordered them anyway because I've found the higher end clothing lines generally allow a little extra room in the waist than they advertise (like Calvin Klein)  I can fit these jeans with ease, and you can too with that waist measurement if you do not have very curvy hips or larger thighs. I've lost a lot of weight and took up running again so my fluffy extra bits aren't there, if you have a little curvier figure but your waist is about 32" maybe go up an extra size because these jeans have incredible stretch and retention. They fit like a glove without being too tight and no 'camel toe'. When I wash them (I do cold, inside out, hang dry) they are just like they should be when I put them back on, there is no stretching out of the denim. They feel and look so incredible. Looking at the price tag I almost cringe to admit it but damn, I could see these jeans being a part of my wardrobe for years and they feel like they'd last that long. I'm looking at other styles of these as we speak.
The color of these is a nice medium denim, I've paired it with a LOT of my denim shirts and jackets and it really goes with a lot of denim finishes. It's just 'in the middle' enough to match a lot of washes.
I'm not the kind of person to pay this for jeans normally but the experience of these jeans (and another pair I got last year) has really, really made me rethink it on pieces that look this amazing and will last a very long time. I got so many compliments on this particular pair, more so than any other I've worn. they don't make your butt look saggy or flat or huge, POCKET PLACEMENT is so important and 7 for All Mankind has definitely gotten that down to a science. These make my legs just look amazing. I'm so hooked.
