I really love the fit of these jeans. Initially I balked at the thought of polyester in jeans, but I think it helps keep the shape of the fabric without shrinkage and stretching out too much. The fabric is a solid mid-weight (which i like) and the rinse is on the darker side with some whiskering. In direct sunlight there is a bit of a sheen but it is generally not noticeable. I'm going to order another pair soon
