I wish I liked these jeans because the material isn't paper thin or super elastic like a lot of them. It seems that they would hold up well for some time. However, they just don't fit my body type right. I am 5'9" 135 lbs with 37 1/2 inch hips and while the size 7 fit perfectly around top, the legs are wide and loose on me. I picked the regular fit and while im tall these were still long. Right after washing they fit well enough but after an hour or so I am really swimming in legs. I can't return them because I've tried washing them to see if it would help, so perhaps they will have to make for outdoor work pants. My other pair of Levis are 504's and they fit my shape really well, so not all hope is lost trying out different Levis.
