I still love these pants and it's hard to find black jean pants where I live. I like the way they fit but they are very low cut. (It says that in the description.. just didn't think they'd be that low)I washed them the first time and it looked like half the color was already gone. Afterwards, I realized I didn't wash them with any vinegar (reduces fading) but they still shouldn't have faded that quickly. Overall, I still wear the pants but I am going to have to keep dying them back to black. They are a good quality pair of pants if you can get past the fading.
