I must say I've been spoiled by stretch jeans, real jeans now feel like a unmoving denim prison. I already owned a pair of these jeans, loved the stretch, loved the waist height (great for bending over and still covering/staying up) but these new jeans are about two inches shorter for some reason. Same exact Jean, style number etc, just the cut is a little shorter. I need the length so when I find a jean long enough (33 inseam) I'll buy enough to last me for years, so this was a disappointment.
They are not short enough to be ankle length, just short enough to be awkward.
