I agree with all the other comments concerning shallow pockets, come on, how much trouble or expense is it to put in a useful size front pocket????  Sizing variations keeps me from ordering these online.  I know from buying them in the store that I need to find a pair on the shelf that is the right waist and length then hold them up to other colors I want and see if I can find a match.  Sometimes this can take a while.  The size variation from one of a size and several others of the same size can be and is all over the place I have found as much as 2-3" difference in waist and 2-3" difference in length.  Also, the shrinkage varies quite a bit.  I have, right now, 5 pairs of the colored pants all in the same size and some have shrunk in the waist to the point of being uncomfortable and also have shrunk in the width of the legs to the point of being way to clingy around the calf.
All that being said, when you can get the right size, and the color you like and the fabric you like, which I like this fabric a lot,  I love these jeans.  I also like the regular amanda jeans in denim.  (The blue denim jeans do not have the shrinkage problems that the colored jeans have, different material altogether)  I love the comfort of the waist and I like many of the colors that they make.  However, I do end up buying these jeans often, as I am fussy about the colors looking fresh and bright, and unfortunately, when dealing with cotton, color fades rather quickly with repeated washing.  Also not such a problem with the regular denim.  It fades slowly, and isn't that bad for quite a long time. I think my rating of 4 stars is very generous, concerning all the issues with these pants.  However, they are probably the same issues as with any other brand of jeans that are cotton, and as I said, I do wear them almost exclusively and I like them  a lot for comfort and appearance.
