This model of jeans is one of the few available in my size that comes in a nicely tapered leg.  Every other big name brand I've tried in stores seems to fit like what I used to think of as a boot cut or almost a flare even though they are really straight leg--I guess this is the result of size inflation.

A pair I bought locally had a belt loop pull out at the bottom end where it is sewn to a single layer of fabric.  The pair from Amazon has the same construction, but now I know not to pull up the pants by those loops.  Other loops attached at seams with multiple layers of fabric should be fine though.
