I never buy jeans online, but I was desparate for a new pair as my last favorite pair were not fit for out of the house wear anymore.  Because I am very particular I always try on jeans even if they are the same size and style as a pair I own.  However, when I went shopping at found the 524 Jeans to be really amazing in comfort and fit. Some "super low" riding jeans barely cover the butt and some are ok.  When I tried the 524, they were perfect...except they were short.  I decided to trust that the long would be the best fit and it WAS. I love these jeans.  Will buy more!!
