I bought these really as an experiment, because I hadn't bought anything from the Amazon Clothing Store previously. Turns out that they were a really great deal. They came in the right size, I love the amount that the fabric is broken in (which is only slightly, so as to be softer, not faded or anything), and they were in good condition. As several other people have mentioned, there were a few threads, but once these were cut off, they did not continue to unravel. These jeans have definitely made it into the return purchase list.
