These jeans fit true to size, this said I have to admit that I was very disappointed with the fit. They are too high at the waist for my taste, I like midrise jeans that don't go all the way to my rib cage, are a bit too stretchy and smell horrible - even after washing them ! The pants are comfortable but not flattering, what happened to the comfort waist jeans Lee used to carry ? I had several pairs a few years back that had a fabulous fit but I can't find them anymore.
