Great value at $30 or less pricing. Love the soft material. Would prefer no 'rip, tear, patch' ones (I have purchased before), but it's still a great buy. As a 'short' jean person (5'4"), I prefer the fit of this same style that offers the "short" sizes. As an older or fuller waist line person, you should be okay with the shorter waist (lying lower), although it's not the super low waist style that's out there.
