I got these jeans as a gifts for my 11 year old grandson. He's a typical rough and tumble kid who tends to be hard on jeans - particularly the knees. The first thing I noticed was that these jean are quite well made. The denim is not too thin, the stitching is very good, and they look great! My grandson tried them on and immediately liked them. They fit just right and he really liked the straight fit and the leatherette J tag above the back pocket. How well they wear is yet to be seen. Hopefully the knees will survive until he outgrows them. Amazon's price on these jeans is excellent, too!
