Ok, I buy NYDJ all the time.  These denim jeans look and feel great.  I wear a size 14.  BUT, in both of the pairs I own, the fabric wears very quicky between the thighs where there is naturally a lot of friction with walking, etc.  The rest of the jeans look great, but both the color wears away and the fabric in both my pairs just breaks down fairly quickly (say 6 months) and then tears.  Very sad.  I have never in my 51 years had this issue with other pants or jeans of any kind.  I wrote to the company and they sent me a free, replacement pair of jeans which I really appreciated.  I do, however, hope they address the fabric wear issue for the long term.  I expect a pair of jeans to last more than one year.  I still love and continue to buy NYDJ.  They fit great, look, great, and I love the comfort.  I don't mind paying full price for these kind of pants/jeans.
